2359 E ImageAmerican Bank Note Co., 10c Dark Green, Frame Mounted over Photo of John Adams (226-E3). Die proof of frame as adopted, cut close, central portrait of Daniel Webster cut out and mounted over photo of John Adams, deep rich color

VERY FINE AND UNIQUE ESSAY OF THE 10-CENT 1890 ISSUE, SUBSTITUTING JOHN ADAMS FOR DANIEL WEBSTER.

Except for the lilliputian depiction of John Adams standing among a roomful of people in the vignette of the 24c 1869 Pictorial Issue, based on John Trumbull's iconic painting, the nation's second president and Founding Father was not honored with a postage stamp until 1938. Adams has appeared on only two design-different U.S. postage stamps: the 2c 1938 Presidential and the 1986 Ameripex souvenir sheet, both of which occurred by default as they depicted all the presidents.
