The United States Postal Service celebrates iconic photographer Ansel Adams with a special capsule full of stamps. It honors his impact on photography and the environmental conservation. His work is done in black and white, capturing the American West while preserving memories of the natural landscapes in his photos.
This includes views of Yosemite National Park and Sequoia National Park. The stamp collection honors his legacy and also brings his perspective of nature right to the public. The tradition of honoring America's cultural heritage is an important topic to Adams. His work has played a role in bringing awareness to the vulnerable beauty of the wilderness across America. The capsule features 16 stamps in total.
