An oil painting of a giant white ox, with a massive body and extremely tiny legs. He stands solemnly in a field beneath a moody sky, as if presiding over some kind battle.

28 September 1066. England was invaded by the Norman ruler “William the Conqueror”, who claimed the English throne. His claim derived from his familial relationship with the childless Anglo-Saxon king Edward the Confessor, who may have encouraged William’s hopes for the throne.

There were once deep, clear swimming holes near what's now Union Station. As D.C. developed, creeks were paved over or piped.

And while we're on the subject of extraordinary women on stamps. Aviator, Bessie Coleman (January 26, 1892 – April 30, 1926). Personally, if I could time travel, it would be to the morning of April 30, 1926, to say "Young Lady, hop out of that plane - you have only yet begun to change the world."
