Colorado celebrates its 150th anniversary of statehood in 2026. It became the 38th state in the Union on Aug. 1, 1876.<\/p>\n

DENVER \u2014 The work of Colorado\u2019s most celebrated nature photographer will be featured on a new stamp.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS)<\/a> will commemorate the 150th anniversary of Colorado becoming a state with the issuance of a new Forever stamp.<\/p>\n

Featuring a photograph of Jagged Mountain by the late photographer, the Colorado Statehood stamp will be issued during a ceremony on Saturday, Jan. 24, at History Colorado. The event is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n

The stamp unveiling is being held in conjunction with the opening of the\u00a0“Mountains Majesty: On the Summit with John Fielder”<\/a> exhibition at History Colorado.<\/p>\n

History Colorado said the new exhibition invites “visitors to ascend through sun-dappled valleys, explore rugged slopes, and take in Colorado\u2019s colorful scenery on a photographic journey through the mountains with John Fielder.”<\/p>\n

Museum members searched through more than 6,000 photos<\/a> donated by the late photographer to History Colorado to create the exhibition.<\/p>\n

“This exhibition is a love letter to John Fielder and his mountain photographs from History Colorado\u2019s members,” said Katherine Mercier, the historian who developed this exhibition. “As History Colorado members selected photographs, I was struck by their deep emotional connection to John Fielder’s work. His powerful photos of Colorado’s mountains brought back personal memories of the state’s beauty and wonder.”<\/p>\n

“John Fielder will always be \u2018Colorado’s Photographer\u2019 capturing the amazing beauty of our great state,” said Colorado Gov. Jared Polis. “Colorado is thrilled to receive the gift of a USPS commemorative stamp for our 150th birthday. This stamp will feature the awe-inspiring splendor of Jagged Mountain in the Weminuche Wilderness, one of Colorado\u2019s breathtaking landscapes. This special stamp truly honors what makes Colorado unique.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Colorado celebrates its 150th anniversary of statehood in 2026.
