This wonderful picture collage salutes that great naval vessel -one of the first ships of the US Navy – the USS Constellation that served in the Undeclared Naval War against France resulting from the XYZ Affair, the War against the Barbary Pirates and the War of 1812.   When it was scraped in 1853, the keel was laid at the same time for the construction of a new USS Constellation that was launched in 1854. Highlighting the collage is the First Day Cover for the stamp issued to honor the second ship of the same name  for the 150th Anniversary of the launching of the USS Constellation.
On the day a stamp is issued, it is only available in the city where it is issued and the Post Office certifies this by canceling the stamp “First Day of Issue.” This stamp was issued in Baltimore, MD
A great collectible for any history buff.
The size of this matted picture is 8″ x 10″ and will fit any 8″ x 10″ inch frame.
(a standard size).
I make all these collages by hand.  As a history buff as well as a lover of old movies and all types of sports, the key to each picture is the research behind it.  Deciding what movies should go with a particular star or what game or series would best reflect a certain sports hero is crucial to a successful collage. I then design each picture individually and lay out the design on the mat.  Finally, I cut each mat based on that design and assemble the collage.
