📜 Historical Overview

Issued annually, the “duck” stamps are designed by some of America's finest artists. Initially, the artwork for these stamps was commissioned, but that changed in 1949 when designer Bob Hines (creator of the 1946-47 issue) suggested the idea for a contest. Today, well-known painters and designers from throughout the U.S. compete to have their work displayed on the desirable hunting permit stamps. In 1991, Nancy Howe became the first woman to win the annual competition. 

• The Artist: Daniel Smith won the prestigious Federal Duck Stamp art competition in 1988, beating out hundreds of other painters to have his work displayed.

• Conservation Impact: The RW55 was issued on July 3, 1988. Sales of this stamp contributed to the Federal Duck Stamp program, which has raised over $1.2 billion since its inception in 1934 to purchase and protect millions of acres of wetland habitats.
