Alphabetilately: An Alphabet of Philately

September 26, 2008 - January 31, 2014

Museum: Postal Museum

Location: Jeanette Cantrell Rudy Gallery, Lower Level

This exhibition presents an alphabet of philately through 26 topics, in which each letter stands for some aspect of stamp collecting or the sending of mail. From Advertising Covers to Zeppelins, each topic is introduced by a non-postage stamp image (called a Cinderella), designed by 26 designers in the San Francisco area. The 26 topics and their delightful definitions provide an ideal showcase for displaying both historical and modern items from the museum's collection.
