Winnegrad's Printing on Stamps
The GPA also publishes Winnegrad's Printing on Stamps. The publication, previously titled Printing on Stamps, was retitled to honor Mark Harris Winnegrad, one of the co-founders of the GPA in 1975 and past President. Originating as a term paper for a course on the history of books and printing, Printing on Stamps soon grew to include citations for famous printers, stamps depicting printing and graphic arts equipment, processes related to printing, printing plants and printers' marks, and papermaking, all as depicted on postage stamps. The first, second and third editions of Printing on Stamps were issued in 1975, 1978, and 1989 respectively.
The much-expanded Fourth Edition, published in early 2017 and updated in 2018, with over 6,000 entries and an expanded range of topics was compiled by Bruce L. Johnson and is current through September 2017. Because of the size of the list, we are distributing it in both electronic (PDF) and printed format:
$20 for PDF only
$35 for PDF plus printed to U.S. addresses
$45 for PDF plus printed to addresses outside U.S.
($5 discount for GPA patron members.)
Copies are available from the Secretary.
Looking ahead, the plan is to update the checklist annually.
