Invisible Stamps: U.S. Embossed Revenues
Embossed revenues, a lesser known part of philately, offer a rich perspective on the early history of America. Used on documents to show payment of tax, the stamps were impressed by a die, much like a modern notary seal. Revenue stamp collectors will appreciate the program, and general audiences will be fascinated with the examples shown, such as an arrest warrant for a colonial draft dodger; a court judgment sending a poor soul to "debtor's prison"; papers related to the famous British Stamp Act; and even an estate inventory list that includes a slave "named Jude, sickly."
