Edmonia Lewis 2022 - 5 Sheets / 100 Pcs

Part of the mission of the Black Heritage® stamp series is to celebrate African American achievement — particularly to acknowledge those whose recognition has been too long delayed.

American sculptor Edmonia Lewis (ca. 1844–1907) is one such honoree.

Lewis was the first African American and Native American sculptor to earn international acclaim. Born in Greenbush, New York, she spent most of her career overseas in Rome, where her studio became a must-see attraction for American tourists.

In addition to portrait busts of prominent people, Lewis’s work incorporated African American themes, including the celebration of newly won freedoms, and sensitively depicted her Native American heritage as peaceful and dignified. A Roman Catholic, she also received several religious commissions.
