This is a 28 x 16-inch Giclée print of the 44-cent Garden of Love special stamps.

Giclée (from the French word for “spray”) is a process or method for making high-quality art prints with a special type of computer printer that delivers a fine stream of ink. Using this method results in a vivid, pure color with exceptional detail that is suitable for museum or gallery display.

The 2011 Garden of Love (Forever®) issuance — ten different first-class stamps depicting a colorful mosaic of flora and fauna in a garden setting — is a continuation of the Love series, begun in 1973. Intended for use on Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Father’s Day cards, these stamps add beauty to any expression of love and affection.
