          Life Magnified (U.S. 2023)

          This issue was announced by the USPS on December 13th:

          These stamps reveal life on Earth like many have never seen it. Twenty stamps feature 20 different images taken with microscopes and highly specialized photographic techniques that capture details of life undetectable by the human eye. The images show the phenomena of life in exquisitely fine detail. While stunning on their own as works of art, these images also hold scientific significance. Art director Derry Noyes designed the stamps using existing photographs.

          We will post additional information as we get it below the line, with the most recent information at the top.
