1958-1959 United States Commemorative Postage Stamp Album Page

This is a single page from a vintage United States stamp album, specifically featuring commemorative issues from 1958 and 1959. The page is constructed of heavy-weight, off-white archival-style paper with a decorative black line border. It displays several distinct postage stamp series, including the 'Champion of Liberty' issues (featuring Simon Bolivar and Lajos Kossuth), the 'Lincoln Sesquicentennial' issues, the 'Freedom of the Press' issue, the 'Atlantic Cable Centennial' issue, and the 'Forest Conservation' issue. The stamps are mounted within pre-printed frames that include detailed historical context and descriptions below each specimen. Economically, the stamps are in various denominations, predominantly 4-cent and 8-cent issues. The physical condition appears generally good for its age, though there is a noticeable shadow/streak in the lower-right quadrant, likely due to lighting or photographic glare rather than physical damage to the paper. The stamps appear to be cancelled or hinges may be present on the reverse, which is typical for hobbyist collections of this era. The typography and layout are consistent with mid-20th-century philatelic publications, such as those by Scott or Harris. Each stamp showcases intricate intaglio printing techniques characteristic of the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing from that period.
