See the biggest U.S. stamps in the world. They are part of four big stamp paintings from year 1976 (Bicentennial Souvenir Sheet). Released to commemorate American Revolution Bicentennial (1776-1976). Each "painting" contains 5 stamps of same denomination that can be removed and used (mostly showing influential people like presidents from the past). The first big sheet (has 5 13-cent stamps) is The Surrender at Yorktown (Bicentennial Souvenir Sheet) and reproduced the painting titled: The Surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown (From a Painting by John Trumbull). Five 13-cent stamps are incorporated in this sheet based on the famous painting by John Trumbull (1756-1843) depicting Cornwallis' surrender at Yorktown on October 19, 1781, after being trapped by a combined American Army-French Nave force, thus ending the Revolutionary War. The second big sheet (has 5 18-cent stamps) is The Signing of the Declaration of Independence (Bicentennial Souvenir Sheet): The Declaration of Independence, 4 July 1776 at Philadelphia (From a Painting by John Trumbull). The central portion of the famous painting by John Trumbull (1756-1843), showing the five drafters of the Declaration standing at left, and John Hancock, President of the Continental Congress, seated at the table. The original work hangs in the U.S. Capitol Building. The third big sheet (has 5 24-cent stamps) is Washington Crossing the Delaware (Bicentennial Souvenir Sheet): Washington Crossing the Delaware (From a Painting by Emanuel Leutze / Eastman Johnson). On Christmas night, 1776, Washington and his men left Valley Forge and crossed the Delaware River, surprising the Nessions in Trenton. This victory was important in raising the Americans' morale. Emmanuel Leutze (1816-1868) painted this famous idealized conception of the event. The fourth big sheet (has 5 31-cent stamps) is Washington at Valley Forge (Bicentennial Souvenir Sheet): Washington Reviewing His Ragged Army at Valley Forge (From a Painting by William T. Trego). The harsh winter of 1777-78 at Valley Forge saw American spirits at their lowest point of the entire war; many men deserted. Washington, however, managed to turn those who stayed into an effective fighting force. This painting is the work of William Trego (1859-1909).
