The stamps were selected from a large number gathered by the Artists, in collaboration with the Health Sciences staff and faculty. Each stamp is labeled with plaque listing the country of origin and the date of issue, and interesting facts about the medical field that the stamp is intended to honor or commemorate. The United States stamps are used with permission of the United States Postal Service.
