______________________

Harry Houdini - 2002 Stamp FDOI on GWMSC Cachet:
This stamp honors Harry Houdini, America's most famous escape artist and magician - a star who needed no further introduction beyond his last name. The portrait on the stamp, which depicts a confident, self-assured man at the height of his career, was taken from a 1911 lithographed poster in the collection of Gary H. Mandelblatt. This 2002 issuance coincides with the 100th anniversary of the Society of American Magicians. Houdini served as president of the society from 1917 until his death in 1926.

Irving Berlin
This stamp honors accomplished songwriter Irving Berlin. A 1932 black-and-white photograph of Berlin by Edward Steichen (which was colorized for the stamp art) is superimposed over Berlin's handwritten score of "God Bless America." His signature from that score appears across the bottom of the stamp. A man of the people who had an ear for the types of songs that would be universally appealing, Berlin helped change the direction of American popular music. During his long career he wrote more than 1,000 songs, many of which became standards that are still favorites today.
