Description: Prolific painter, illustrator, graphic designer and WPA muralist responsible for the 1959 "Arctic Exploration" and 1967 "Erie Canal" U.S. postage stamps.

Single Samerjan-designed 5-cent "Stevenson" stamp at upper right. Fine. No decorative cachet at left; no distracting recipient's name/address. Just below the postal cancellation, Samerjan signs large and bold in black fineline (and below his signature he's rubberstamped "George Samerjan Designer of Stamp").
