Description:In 1961, artist and designer Antonio Frasconi was invited by A. Hyatt Mayor of the Metropolitan Museum of Art to write an essay about the design of postage stamps.

To accompany this essay, Michael Russem wrote an even shorter essay about Frasconi's essay, hypothetical stamp designs, and the 1963 U.S. stamp for the centennial of the National Academy of Science. That stamp was chosen over designs by Josef Albers, Herbert Bayer, Buckminster Fuller, and Bradbury Thompson—tough competition, but an easy and interesting story to tell.
