I could have shown many others with the Statue of Liberty; above is one side of a block of 10 stamps combined with the Flag.
However the one that stands out for me is the Mount Rushmore National Memorial, equally famous some might say.

Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelt, chosen to represent respectively the nation's founding, philosophy, unity and expansion, I wonder what this quartet would make of Donald Trump.
I had not heard, I thought, of Mikolaj Kopernik who features on a statue in Warsaw.

Perhaps the globe should have given me a clue to the mathematician and astronomer whose model of the universe who placed the Sun rather than the Earth at its centre. It's Nicolaus Copernicus - the name that I would have recognised.
In Denmark in 2006 I took a series of photos that will also be known to many.

A stamp was issue to commemorate the 100th anniversary in 2013.

Great selection today. I think the stamp showing the Statue of Liberty in fact shows a picture of a replica located in front of the New York New York Casino in Las Vegas.
I remember being slightly disappointed when I saw the Little Mermaid - she is much smaller than expected!
Finn - had I known that about the Statue of Liberty I would have chosen a different stamp.
Violet - I agree; I was disappointed too.
Hi Bob - never mind ... great stamps and I've never seen the Mermaid statue ... cheers Hilary
I received that Rushmore stamp some years ago. Thanks for the additional information. And I also received once that with the little mermaid. I haven't see the statue in person, but the stamp is not disappointing!
I like the arrangement of the booklet, attractive. I remember the the fallout from that Statue of Liberty image although I do like the stamp.
