Autumn Colors celebrates the radiant beauty of fall with 10 new stamps in a pane of 20, featuring images from a variety of locations around the U.S. taken by renowned nature and garden photographer Allen Rokach (1941–2021). Rokach often used what he called the “Rokach effect,” a technique that gives photos an impressionistic cast. Art director Ethel Kessler designed the stamps.
