    The stamps feature 12 photographs by Michael Freeman — each showing an example of iconic Shaker design. The issuance coincides with the 250th anniversary of the arrival of the first Shakers in America.

    The pane selvage features a black-and-white photograph of Brother Ricardo Belden (1868–1958) in his workshop at Hancock Shaker Village in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. The photograph was taken by Samuel Kravitt circa 1935.
