    On April 14, 1982, the United States Postal Service issued its second fifty-stamp sheet with different designs.This series is the first series of its size to display original artwork for each different stamp. Each state is represented by an original watercolor painting
    Interesting fact: Each watercolor was created by a father and son artist by the names of Arthur and Alan Singer. Arthur created the birds, and son Alan painted the flowers.
    Interesting fact #2: At the time of their issue, these stamps were the most popular in U.S. Postal history.
