This time, it's "Looking up at Wires of the Boulder Dam Power Units," 1941. You may recognize the image from one of our earliest ties. Although the original scan was taken at a mere 479x479 dpi; since it was of an 8"x10" print, we're left with plenty of resolution for a 2-inch postage stamp (or even a tie).
This image is a particular favorite of mine, mainly because it's so different from the other recovered Mural Project images.
If you can drop by the main Interior building (1849 C St NW, Washington, DC -- see below), take a peek around the entranceway. This image is tucked away, inside the security gates.
BTW, I should ask: What do you think? Is this a respectable stamp, or what? Shouldn't the US Postal Service print stamps like this on its own? Ah well. I'm happy to help.
