Description: This Listing is for ONE NEW Single Thanksgiving Cornucopia 34¢ Stamp from 2001.Mint. MNH. No flaws. From a Smoke-Free and Pet-Free Environment. On October 19, 2001, the U.S. Postal Service issued these Thanksgiving Cornucopia 34¢ self-adhesive stamps in Dallas, TX in the Holiday Celebrations Series. The artist, Margaret Cusack of Brooklyn, NY, designed and created the machine-appliqued needlework - a cornucopia of fruits and vegetables, inscribed above with the words "We Give Thanks" - that is featured on this Thanksgiving stamp. The needlework is partially quilted, and is made of old and new fabrics - reminiscent of American folk art stitchery; and the quilted cornucopia pattern on the stamp symbolizes an abundant harvest and the promise of future prosperity. The U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, observed on the fourth Thursday of November, stems from a rich history of celebrations. The best known of these celebrations is the first harvest festival at Plymouth, Massachusetts, where in autumn 1621 colonists and Native Americans gathered for a three-day feast to offer thanks for a bountiful harvest. In 1863 President Abraham Lincoln issued a Proclamation of Thanksgiving, marking the beginning of national recognition of an annual Thanksgiving holiday in the United States.
