While some viewed him as a savior, others called him a dictator. Today, he is regarded as a brilliant politician and a world leader who taught our nation to be "citizens of the world" and "members of a human community." He was born on Jan. 30, 1882, in Hyde Park, NY and was sometimes called the stamp-collecting president. Roosevelt began collecting stamps at the age of 8 and had credited the hobby with helping him learn geography, partial recovery from polio, and managing the stress of being Commander in Chief. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm13PR7OimB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#usstamps … A #usps #plateblock of four 2-cent #franklloydwright #stamps . Frank Lloyd Wright (1869-1959), is one of the most influential architects of the twentieth century. His revolutionary approach to building, which emphasized the long, horizontal lines of a prairie landscape, was equal to his controversial private life. His most recognized masterpiece, a project that occupied him for sixteen years, was the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City. That building is depicted in the 2-cent stamp's background. This dark blue gray 2-cent stamp was issued June 8, 1966, in Spring Green, Wisconsin, the location of Wright's #taliesineast home. #stampcollection #mystamps #stampcollecting #philately #philatelist #philatelic #stampcollector #architecture #ushistory #filatelia #filateli https://www.instagram.com/p/CmzSXvIuJLh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
