There aren't many postage stamps out there with 12,500 dpi (linear) scans of genuine Ansel Adams prints as their raw material. This is one:

Neither stamps nor murals are quite what Adams was burning & dodging for when he created these prints. However, I would put it to you that it still makes for one heck of a stamp.
