An original native of New England, John Quincy Adams (1735-1826) is featured on these lovely rose carmine 2cent stamps. They were issued as part of the 1938 Presidential Series by the USPS. Daniel Chester French's marble bust of Adams, executed in 1889 and displayed in the US Capitol's Senate Gallery, inspired the portrait. Adams, a Federalist, served two terms as vice president under George Washington and narrowly defeated his arch-rival Thomas Jefferson to become the second president of the United States. He and Jefferson died on the same day, July 4, 1826. During his term, the capital of the US was moved from Philadelphia to Washington.
