The Statue Of Liberty : A Cynosure.

WW2 Cinderella.

Of all of the US Airmail stamps with the Statue of Liberty depicted on it. I'm surprised no one has yet posted this old one:

How about these?

Thank you gentlemen

wt1, a lady philatelist was looking for the entire poem

"The Colossus of Rhodes"

You might find this symposium paper by Harry Charles of interest - The Statue of Liberty: Icon of Freedom and Hope. It's the last entry at the bottom of the page. Check out the paper (27 pages) and the presentation.

With all my noodling around in my albums today I noticed something on this 1947 US Pulitzer stamp that I hadn't before. The Statue of Liberty in the background.
