| Description | This is Franklin Delano Roosevelt's original design for the 1938 airmail postage stamp with the annotation: "red border, blue eagle, white background ... Franklin D. Roosevelt, fecit." The designer at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing reworked the eagle and wording but as indicated by FDR's hand-written "fecit," this was the one postage stamp design that the president felt he had created from scratch and for which he took credit as the designer. |
