America North Albums
The United States enjoyed its last full year of peace in 1940. The nation's 44,024 post offices handled almost 27.75 billion pieces of mail that year, and the Famous Americans Issue became the first commemorative series of the period. It would be the first large commemorative series since the Columbian Exposition Issue to not include an American president as a stamp subject. Instead, it would incorporate the first commemorative stamp to honor an African-American, the 10-cent Booker T. Washington.
