Why the stamp was issued: To commemorate the beauty of autumn in the United States.
About the stamp design: Pictures a photograph by nature and garden photographer Allen Rokach (1941-2021).
Special design details: Rokach was known for using what he dubbed the “Rokach effect,” to give his photographs an impressionistic quality. This sometimes adds interesting and unusual colors to the landscape shown.
First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held at the Great American Stamp Show in Hartford, Connecticut.
About the Autumn Colors set: Includes 10 different designs featuring photographs by nature and garden photographer Allen Rokach (1941-2021). Each photograph was taken at a different location across the United States, a perfect way to emphasize the nationwide beauty of autumn.
History the stamp represents: There are two main types of trees in the world – evergreen and deciduous (sometimes called broad-leaved). Evergreen trees have needles or scales that are resistant to freezing and stay green even through harsh winters. Deciduous trees have larger, more-delicate foliage that are shed as temperatures cool down in the autumn. As their foliage prepares to drop, it changes color, creating a beautiful display for all to enjoy. The species of tree determines what color the leaves turn in the fall.
Perhaps the most striking fall leaves are produced by species of maple tree. Red maples have vivid scarlet leaves in the fall while sugar maples have bright orange-red, and black maples are a warm shade of yellow. Oak trees, on the other hand, tend to have more subdued colors ranging from brown to russet (red-brown).
One type of tree is particularly species. It is a conifer, but defies the usual evergreen status of other cone-bearing trees. The larch tree has needle-like leaves that turn from blue-green in summer to bright yellow in autumn. Like other deciduous trees, it drops its unusual foliage before winter. Larches sometimes grow among other conifers, creating a beautiful contrast between yellow and dark green every autumn in the alpine regions they call home.
