Chris Ware Honors USPS with a Beautiful Illustration of a Postwoman’s Day

From dropping off letters to waving at neighbors, Chris Ware’s new USPS stamp collection feels like a little love letter to everyday life. Each stamp shows those small moments we see on a postwoman’s daily route, all drawn in his famous graphic novel style.

This special stamp series isn’t just pretty—it’s also celebrating 250 years of the United States Postal Service. That’s a huge milestone in American history.

What makes it even cooler is how the stamps flow together like a story. You see the postal worker moving through all four seasons, rain or shine, just like real life mail carriers do.

Chris Ware worked on this with art director Antonio Alcalá, and the final result is something collectors and everyday folks will both want. The official release date is July 23, but you can pre-order your stamp sheet now. Perfect if you’re into stamp collecting, USPS history, or just want to grab a piece of American culture before it sells out.

It’s not just postage—it’s a tiny piece of art, a tribute to the hard work that keeps mail delivery and shipping services running every single day.
