1991 Heart-Shaped Globe
- 10th stamp in the Love series
Category of Stamp: Commemorative
Set: Love Series
Value: 29¢, First Class mail rate
First Day of Issue: May 9, 1991
First Day City: Honolulu, Hawaii
Quantity Issued: 928,000,000
Printed by: United States Bank Note Corporation
Printing Method: Photogravure
Format: Panes of 50, from printing cylinders of 300 subjects (15 across, 20 down)
Perforations: 12 ½ X 13
Reason the stamp was issued: This stamp was issued to satisfy the First-Class mail rate. It is part of the long-running Love series.
About the stamp design: Harry Zelenko’s design for a Love stamp was approved by the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee in 1988. It wasn’t used for a stamp until three years later. The image shows a heart-shaped globe with different colored continents. Zelenko’s art was also shown on the first ATM stamps.
About the printing process: This stamp was printed in sheet format by the US Bank Note Corporation, and the booklet version was produced by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
First Day City: Four Love postal items (this stamp in sheet and booklet form, a 52¢ stamp, and a stamped envelope) were issued during the same ceremony, which took place at the Honolulu Zoo. “Mari” the elephant unveiled each design.
About the Love Series: Based on the popularity of Christmas stamps, the USPS issued its first Love stamp in 1973. It wasn’t intended to be the start of a series, and, in fact, it wasn’t until 1982 that another Love stamp was issued. Love-themed stamps were issued sporadically over the next few years. The USPS stated that they weren’t intended just for Valentine’s Day mail, but also for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions. In 1987, the USPS officially declared it a series, and new Love stamps have been issued nearly every year since. Love stamps are on sale longer than most commemorative stamps and are usually printed in greater quantities. They have sometimes been known to go back to press for additional printings if demand is sufficient.
