From the elegant Schaus swallowtail butterfly to the stealthy Florida panther, this sheet captures the unique character and beauty of 15 animals on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Endangered Species list. Issued for National Stamp Collecting Month, the theme of which was, "Protect and Collect", this sheet calls attention to their plight.
Each stamp design is based on photographs by James Balog, whose work can be found in National Geographic and Outside magazines. Balog found the idea of creating photographs that would be reduced to stamp size a challenge-but as you can see the results are spectacular.
