This 18-cent U.S. stamp depicts George Washington alongside the Washington Monument and was issued in 1981 for use on presorted first-class mail. The design, part of the Great Americans and Americana definitive series, features Washington in formal attire against a red background with a green laurel branch at the bottom symbolizing honor and victory. The “PRESORTED FIRST-CLASS” overprint indicates its use in bulk mailing services. A practical yet historically rich issue, it combines patriotic imagery with postal efficiency.
