About the Celebrate the Century series: The USPS launched the Celebrate the Century series in 1998 to mark the end of the 20th century and herald the arrival of the 21st. The series includes 10 sheets of 15 stamps (150 in total), with each honoring important moments from a different decade (1900s, 10s, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s). At the time of completion, it was the longest and most ambitious commemorative stamp series in US history.
History the stamp represents: Emily Price Post (1872-1960) made good manners her lifework. Established as an authority on proper behavior, her common-sense views made her a hit with people from all walks of life – working class and high-society alike.
The daughter of a well-to-do architect, Post was born in Baltimore, Maryland, to wealth and high social position. At five years of age, she and her family moved to New York City. In 1893, she married Edwin M. Post, a banker who lost his fortune in the panic of 1901. They were divorced soon after.
Post began her career writing fiction and magazine articles. At her publisher’s suggestion, she wrote Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics and at Home. The book was an instant success after its release in 1922. What set Post apart from earlier writers on the subject was her focus on the common man; she recognized that, regardless of social standing, people were aware of the need for good manners and consideration for others.
By the time of her death, there had been 10 editions and 90 printings of Emily Post’s Etiquette. Frequent revisions were made, incorporating changing attitudes and new patterns of behavior. She also wrote a syndicated advice column, which appeared in over 200 newspapers.
