This beautiful poster
was inspired by the stamps issued by the United States Postal
Service in 1982, which quickly became the best-selling ones in
American history.
You would expect the state bird of Maryland to be the
Baltimore oriole and you can understand New Mexico being
represented by the road-runner, but why did dry, land-locked
Utah choose the California seagull? It was because in 1848, the
gulls saved the early settlers from starvation by eating up the
Rocky Mountain locusts that were destroying their crops. The
fifty states are listed alphabetically. Each bird and flower is
identified by both its common and its scientific name. |
