This is a Digital Color Postmark Keepsake for the 42–cent Oregon Statehood commemorative stamp featuring a Digital Color Postmark plus a full pane of 20 stamps.
On January 14, 2009, in Portland, Oregon, the Postal Service™ issued a 42–cent, Oregon Statehood stamp, designed by Derry Noyes of Washington, DC.
With the issuance of this stamp in 2009, the U.S. Postal Service® commemorates the sesquicentennial of Oregon’s statehood. Oregon was officially welcomed as the 33rd state in the Union on February 14, 1859. Today, Oregon boasts a diverse population, an active and innovative urban scene, and some of the most beautiful and fertile landscapes in the country.
Artist Gregory Manchess, a resident of Beaverton, Oregon, was inspired by his own experiences along the Pacific coast to create the painting for the stamp.
