Why the stamp was issued: To commemorate Ansel Adams and the huge impact his photography had on the art world and environmentalism in the United States.

First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held at the Ansel Adams Gallery in Yosemite National Park, California.
History the stamps represent: A photographer by trade, Ansel Adams’s heart belonged to the wilderness. He photographed these places so that others could experience them, and ensure future generations would as well.
As a boy, Adams’s father instilled in him the values of Ralph Waldo Emerson – living a moral, modest life, kind to man and nature. Adams adopted this love of nature from an early age, recalling, “I believe in beauty, I believe in stones and water, air and soil, people and their future and their fate.” His first visit to Yosemite in 1916 coincided with the gift of his first camera, pairing what would be the two defining aspects of his life.
Adams pushed for new parks and wilderness areas and was a supporter of the Wilderness Act, wild Alaska, and protecting Big Sur along the Central Coast of California. He fought to protect redwoods, endangered sea lions, and otters, clean water and air, responsible use of resources, and limiting highways and billboards. In 1960, Adams co-authored This is the American Earth, which is one of the first books to encourage individuals to get involved in environmental conservation.
Adams’s dedication wasn’t without detractors. Some criticized him, saying, “the world is falling to pieces and all Adams… photograph[s] is rocks and trees.” However, Adams was preserving (on film and in reality) the natural beauty of our nation.
