US 1930s Postage Stamps

US postage stamps from the 1930s are notable for the Presidential Series which introduced a modern design to definitive stamps, featuring portraits of past presidents. They also mark the period of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's active involvement in the stamp program, and the release of commemorative sheets and special printings by Postmaster General James A. Farley. The Great Depression also influenced stamp designs, with some stamps commemorating the resilience of Americans during this period.
