The engraved portrayals of U.S. Presidents was the exclusive design and theme found on U.S. postage from 1847 until 1869, with the one exception of Benjamin Franklin. Abraham Lincoln first appeared on a stamp in 1866, one year after his death. In 1869 the Post Office issued a series of eleven postage stamps whose designs were a break from the tradition of honoring American forefathers on the nation's postage stamps. These new issues had non presidential subjects. Washington and Lincoln were to be found only once in this series of eleven stamps. This series was met with general disdain and proved so unpopular that the issues were sold for only one year and remaining stocks were pulled from post offices across the United States. In 1870 the U.S. Post Office resumed its short lived tradition of printing postage with the portraits of American Presidents and Franklin but now added several other famous Americans, including Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, Alexander Hamilton and General Winfield Scott among other notable Americans.
Presidents also appeared on less than half of the stamps in the sets of 1890, 1917, 1954 and 1965, while occupying only a slight majority of values in the definitive issues of 1894-98, 1902 and 1922-25. Presidential images overwhelmingly dominated the definitive sets released in 1908 and 1938. The 1975 Americana Series marked a clear end to this tradition, being the first U. S. definitive issue on which no presidential portrait appeared. Presidents have played only a minor role in the subsequent Great Americans series.
On May 22, 1986, the US Post Office released a series of postage stamps with a portrait of a past US President inscribed upon each one. The series of 36 stamps was issued in four separate mini-sheets, with nine stamps on each sheet, each stamp being worth 22 cents of postage. Several of the issues honor presidents who had never appeared on a US commemorative stamp before. On 'sheet IV' the stamp in the middle showed the White House entrance.
Stamps are issued only for deceased presidents (which is why the series above ends with LBJ). The last stamps issued in honor of a president were the Ronald Reagan stamp issued in 2005 and the Gerald Ford stamp issued in 2007.
