Angel’s Trumpets 4¢ Postage Stamps, 2026 Sheet – Additional Postage for Cards and Letters

To create the image, photographer Harold Davis backlit the flowers on a light box and combined multiple photographic exposures, resulting in a luminous, transparent look. He also scanned a sheet of aged paper and, in post-production, added the scan as a background to the floral image.

“The point of this technique is to create a partially transparent effect using the colors that are passed through flower petals, rather than reflected by the petals, as is the case for most conventional flower photography,” Davis says.
