Description
This great picture collage salutes that great state - South Dakota & William Beadle who served as an Union General during the Civil War & later as the head of Education for South Dakota ensured that public land sales in the state went to support education & the state schools & who was selected as one of the two individuals to represent the state in Statuary Hall in Washington. The collage features the First Day Cover of the stamp issued to honor South Dakota statehood whose envelope has been dedicated to William Beadle. The stamp depicts the state flag of South Dakota. On the day a stamp is issued, it is only available in the city where it is issued & the Post Office certifies this by canceling the stamp "First Day of Issue." Overall, a great collectible for any history buff. The size of this matted picture is 8" x 10" & will fit any 8" x 10" inch frame. (a standard size). I make all these collages by hand. As a history buff as well as a lover of old movies & all types of sports, the key to each picture is the research behind it. Deciding what movies should go with a particular star or what game or series would best reflect a certain sports hero is crucial to a successful collage. I then design each picture individually & lay out the design on the mat. Finally, I cut each mat based on that design & assemble the collage. Shipping & Handling is free for the United States. I make a daily trip to the Post Office so your item will normally ship within 24 hours after payment is received. . Customers outside the US, please contact me for shipping costs to your country.
