About This Stamp
The Unites States Postal Service honored four individuals from different artistic genres on postage stamps issued between February 28 and September 20, 1973.
The final person honored on a postage stamp in the American Arts issue was novelist Willa Cather (1873–1947). Cather won the Pulitzer Prize in 1923 for her novel One of Ours. Her novels have shaped the way many Americans understand the settlement of the Great Plains.
