1980 Helen Keller & Anne Sullivan Plate Block Of 4 15c Stamps, Sc#1824, MNH, OG These stamps are generally used as collectables however they are real USPS postage stamps that are accepted by the Postal Service as payment for mail. If you wish to use the stamps as postage the rates on the stamps must equal or exceed the current appropriate postal mailing cost or extra postage must be paid. The stamp or stamp set shown in the picture is a stock photo and is likely not a picture of the exact stamp set you will receive in that it may differ in plate number and/or orientation. However the item you will receive will be similar including having a plate number (if one is present in the photos) and the same number of stamps. Brief History Of USA Stamps The issue and use of adhesive postage stamps in the USA began in 1847 continued during the 19th century primarily for first class mail. Each of the early stamps generally bore the face or bust of an American president or another historically important statesman. However, once the Post Office realized during the 1890s that it could increase revenues by selling stamps as "collectibles," it began issuing commemorative stamps, first in connection with important national expositions, later for the anniversaries of significant American historical events. At this point there are literally thousands of different stamp issues with many if not most commemorating events and people who have impacted our history since the USA has become a country - and before! I am offering many of the most interesting and reasonably priced stamps available. Stamps make great gifts for history buffs or for noting events and/or people that are interesting or important to you or yours!

For nearly five decades, Anne Sullivan was Helen Keller's teacher, friend, and constant companion. This collection contains portraits of Sullivan, images of her with Helen Keller and other images and documents that pertain to her life. Anne Sullivan was born in April 1866 in Feeding Hills, a village in western Massachusetts. When Sullivan was about five years old, she contracted trachoma, an eye disease caused by bacteria. Over time the recurring irritation and scarring of the cornea caused vision loss and necessitated several rounds of surgery throughout her life. Anne Sullivan was the child of immigrants who left Ireland during the Great Famine. Sullivan's mother died when Anne was about eight years old and was sent to live in the "poor house" in Tewksbury, Massachusetts where the conditions were deplorable. In 1880 Sullivan learned that a commission was coming to investigate the conditions at Tewksbury Almshouse. On the day of their visit, Anne followed them around, waiting for an opportunity to speak. Just as the tour was concluding, she gathered up all of her courage, approached a member of the team of inspectors, and told him that she wanted to go to school. That moment changed her life. On October 7, 1880, Anne Sullivan entered the Perkins Institution. Anne Sullivan excelled academically at Perkins and after her graduation Michael Anagnos, then director at Perkins, sent Anne to teach Helen Keller in Tuscumbia, Alabama.

Now with more than 3.9 million copies sold worldwide, the series continues to grow and expand, introducing children around the world to artists, trailblazer Little People, BIG DREAMS first came to life because author Maria Isabel had an idea—an idea that blossomed into a dream that came to life in a book series! Maria Isabel Sánchez Vegara is the author and creator of the inspirational best-selling series Little People, BIG DREAMS. Growing up in the ’70s in Barcelona, her heroines were Pippi Longstocking, Momo and Tinkerbell, and she felt great admiration for the Spanish poet Gloria Fuertes. She dreamed of becoming a poet just like her one day. It took Maria Isabel almost 40 years and most of her savings to make her dream come true. In 2012, after 20 years of working in advertising, she self-published her first book. Two years later, she released what was meant to be a birth present for her twin nieces, Alba and Claudia: the very first title in the Little People, BIG DREAMS series. At the beginning the series was first published in Spain as Pequeña & GRANDE by Alba Editorial, and now Little People, BIG DREAMS is translated into more than twenty languages. Maria Isabel likes to think the success of the series relies on the fact that children love to read real stories about other children achieving great things. It gives them the strength and the courage to believe in themselves and dream BIG. As The Independent once said: “What a cool way to drift off to sleep.” Now with more than 7.5 million copies sold worldwide, the series continues to grow and expand, introducing children around the world to artists, trailblazers, and dreamers who each made a big impact in the world around them.
