The 20¢ denomination pictures James Garfield. Before becoming President, James Garfield was a professor of ancient languages, a college president, a Civil War general, and a U.S. congressman. Often, he would entertain friends and visitors to the White House by writing Greek with one hand while at the same time writing Latin with the other hand. The PrexiesThe series was issued in response to public clamoring for a new Regular Issue series. The series that was current at the time had been in use for more than a decade. President Franklin D. Roosevelt agreed, and a contest was staged. The public was asked to submit original designs for a new series picturing all deceased U.S. Presidents. Over 1,100 sketches were submitted, many from veteran stamp collectors. Elaine Rawlinson, who had little knowledge of stamps, won the contest and collected the $500 prize. Rawlinson was the first stamp designer since the Bureau of Engraving and Printing began producing U.S. stamps who was not a government employee. Own this great block of four James A.
