After a respite for the holidays, we resume our look at United Nations personalized stamp sheets with S13, which was released on 28 May 2006 during the World Philatelic Exposition in Washington, D.C This was an International FIP-sanctioned Stamp show, which is held in the United States only once approximately every ten years. It quickly sold out, with the last date of sale being 7 June 2006. About 4,500 sheets were produced, with the stamps based on the S11 84 cent generic sheet. The other characteristics of the stamps are consistent between the two sheets, with 13.2 perforations and a 30 mm x 30 mm stamp size The U.S. Capitol dome is the most often repeated design in the tabs, along with other Washington, D.C. sites: Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument and the White House. Information on the designer(s) is still being sought.
