This is a 5–pack of the pane of 20 stamps featuring 2008’s 1–cent Tiffany Lamp stamp, a total of 100 stamps.
For 2008, the United States Postal Service reissues the 1–cent definitive featuring artist Lou Nolan’s rendering of a Tiffany lamp. Nolan evokes the work of Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933), a designer of glass, ceramics, jewelry, enamelware, and metalwork who transformed everyday objects into works of art. Tiffany’s stained–glass lampshades glow with soft, colorful light. Considered one of the greatest designers of glass in his era, Tiffany is also remembered as a leader in the art nouveau movement, a style in the visual arts that transformed design in the United States and Europe from the 1890s to World War I.
