Colorado wildlife photographer John Fielder\u2019s work will soon grace a U.S. stamp as part of the state\u2019s 150th anniversary celebration, the U.S. Postal Service said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The prolific and popular Colorado nature photographer, who died in 2023 at 73<\/a>, is getting his very own stamp this month with Colorado Statehood, as the edition will be called.<\/p>\n

\"AnAn image of Jagged Mountain shot by late Colorado wildlife photographer John Fielder was chosen by the U.S. Postal Service as its 150th birthday stamp for Colorado. (Provided by USPS)<\/p>\n

The forever-stamp features a photo of Jagged Mountain, a picturesque thirteener<\/a> located in the San Juan Mountain Range of southwestern Colorado shot by Fielder, with design by Derry Noyes, according to a statement.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Postal Service will hold a free, public \u201cfirst-day-of-issue\u201d event at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 24, at History Colorado Center<\/a>, 1200 Broadway in Denver, with commemorative editions of the stamp. Attendees can RSVP at usps.com\/coloradostamp<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

The location is no accident, as the release coincides with the opening of History Colorado\u2019s own John Fielder exhibit, \u201cMountains Majesty: On the Summit with John Fielder.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Fielder\u2019s exhibit, which features \u201csun-dappled valleys and \u2026 rugged slopes in our state\u2019s colorful scenery,\u201d according to museum officials, joins the museum\u2019s full Colorado Collection of Fielder\u2019s work, which he donated to the institution before his death for noncommercial, research and student use.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs History Colorado members selected photographs for this exhibition, I was struck by their deep emotional connection to John Fielder\u2019s work,\u201d said exhibition developer and historian Katherine Mercier in a statement. \u201cHis powerful photos of Colorado\u2019s mountains brought back personal memories of the state\u2019s beauty and wonder. This exhibition is a love letter to John Fielder and his mountain photographs from History Colorado\u2019s members.\u201d<\/p>\n
