Philatelic Word Of The Day

Essay A design or any artwork officially proposed (essayed), as the design for a stamp. An essay is a stage in the design of the stamp that was not adopted in the final design. Thus an essay differs from the design of the issued stamp. This is to distinguish it from a "proof" which is identical in design to the issued stamp.
