User:Gwillhickers/Charles R. Chickering (Artist)
Charles R. Chickering (Artist), designed dozens of postage stamps while working at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
(Finding biographical material on this individual has so far been futile.)
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing officially took over production of postage stamps for the United States Government in July 1894. The first of the works printed by the B.E.P. was placed on sale on July 18, 1894, and by the end of the first year of stamp production, the B.E.P. had printed and delivered more than 2.1 billion stamps.
111 years of printing stamps at the B.E.P. came to an end in 2005 when all stamp production was ceased.
