These stamps were issued in advance of Chicago's 1893 World Columbian Exposition.  It was an international fair celebrating the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's 1492 arrival in the New World.  The series was used to advertise the event – the first time postage stamps were used to promote a commercial event.

The 1893 Columbian Exposition stamp series was like nothing before it.  They created a worldwide phenomenon.  Expertly engraved and generous in size, the Columbians are among the most desirable of all US stamps.
