USPS cover of 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympic stamps issued on 12 July 1991, plus George Washington stamps originally released in 1962.
The Track and Field stamps for the 1992 Summer Olympic Games featured five different track and field events, including pole vault, javelin throw, sprint race, hurdle race, and discus throw. They didn’t feature specific athletes. The Summer Olympic stamps were the first US stamps designed on a personal computer. Joni Carter was the artist behind these stamps. She programmed videos of athletes into her computer and used individual frames as the basis for her paintings. This was advanced technology at the time. The background colours reflected the five colours of the Olympic rings.
