Whimsical elves bring smiles to the holidays with four new se tenant stamps from the U.S. Postal Service.The stamp art features an original digital illustration of four elves preparing treats and toys for holiday gift giving.

The artist firstsketched his design and then created the final illustration digitally. Working with a simple color palette of red, white, and shades ofgreen and brown, he evokes the holiday spirit in the playful, happy scene.

Like many beloved yet relatively modern holiday traditions–including Santa Claus himself–elves did not become a well-established part of the holidays in the United States until the 19th century.

In the 20th century, Norman Rockwell, Haddon Sundblom, and other artists featured elves in some of their popular seasonalillustrations. Holiday Elves were pictured as tiny, pointy-eared, jolly creatures, usually dressed in stocking caps and festive outfitsand always busy with chores for Santa–just as we envision them today.

Don Clark was the stamp designer and artist. Antonio Alcalá was the art director.The Holiday Elves stamps are being issued as Forever@ stamps in booklets of 20.
