Issued in 1985 by the United Nations Postal Administration, this 45-cent commemorative stamp celebrates the 40th Anniversary of the United Nations. The design features an evocative painting by the celebrated American realist artist Andrew Wyeth, portraying a rustic rural scene with a horse-drawn cart — symbolizing human perseverance, reconstruction, and peace through labor. Wyeth’s restrained palette and dynamic composition reflect the UN’s enduring mission to rebuild and nurture a better world after war. This issue is a beautiful fusion of art and diplomacy, representing the ideals of peace and cooperation that define the UN.
