This educational and elegantly presented philatelic display is titled The Stamps of Medicine. The collection features nine significant postage stamps that commemorate historic milestones and figures in the medical field. Featured subjects include Dr. Crawford W. Long, the Red Cross, Dr. Walter Reed, and Clara Barton, alongside thematic stamps for blood donation and the Mayo brothers. Each stamp is accompanied by printed biographical or historical information detailing the specific contribution of the subject. The display is hand-numbered in the lower right corner, indicating it is part of a limited edition or series. This piece serves as both a historical record and a tribute to the medical profession, professionally mounted with a deep blue mat that features a silver-toned Caduceus medical symbol at the base.
