Publicized the Pacific ’97 International Stamp Show in San Francisco, California Why the stamp was issued: To publicize the Pacific ’97 international stamp show in San Francisco, California. About the stamp designs: Pictures a ship and stagecoach, two of the main 19th-century forms of transportation associated with the San Francisco area. The vignettes are centered within ornamented frames reminiscent of classic engraved stamps. These two issues are America's first triangle stamps. Issued to commemorate San Francisco's Pacific 97 Stamp Exhibition, the stamps feature a mid-19th century clipper ship and a U.S. mail stagecoach - both of which are historically associated with mail delivery in California. The ship design is based on an advertising card for the clipper ship Richard S. Ely, by American Harrison Eastman (1823-1886), who was the probable source for the U.S. mail stagecoach design.
