Inspiration
—
Stamps have a long history of commemorating important people and events. Stamps are collectible and shareable. Perhaps most importantly, stamps represent a vehicle of correspondence and dialogue, the latter being the ambition and objective of the project.

To commemorate the halfway point of the project and celebrate all those who supported it, Selman produced a limited edition print of the first volume of portraits. Included with the books were collectible enamel pins of the Peace Post logo.
