Issued by the United States of America to commemorate the nation’s Bicentennial, this 13-cent stamp features Archibald Willard’s iconic painting The Spirit of ’76, showing the fifer, drummer, and young patriot marching forward. The strong patriotic theme and soft engraved-style printing give it classic historical appeal. Released for domestic letter rates during the 1976 celebrations, it remains a favorite among U.S. history and Americana collectors. Its large design and rich colors display beautifully in thematic or revolution-era collections. A must-have for Bicentennial or patriotic topical albums.
