STAMP HISTORY: On March 11, 1991, the USPS issued the "Fawn" stamp, featuring a newborn baby fawn in a spring meadow with yellow flowers. This stamp depicts a white-tailed deer (a doe), designed by Peter Cocci, using a multicolored pictorial style that emphasizes the delicate, tentative posture of the young deer.

This stamp is part of the "Flora & Fauna" series, which began in 1990 and represented a shift in USPS design direction toward more colorful, nature-oriented imagery for regular, everyday stamps. Unlike prior definitive series focusing on historical figures, this series highlighted native plants and animals to bring more visual appeal and thematic relevance to standard postage. The “Fawn” is one among many stamps in the series that helped promote public appreciation for American wildlife through routine postal usage.

STAMP MEANING & SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE: Most fawns are born with white-spotted fur (though they lose their spots as they mature) and take their first steps within twenty minutes of birth.

The fawn, a young deer, holds a deeply tender and luminous spiritual significance across many cultures — symbolizing innocence, renewal, vulnerability, and divine gentleness. Spiritually, the fawn represents the purity of the soul before it is hardened by the world — the state of being open-hearted, trusting, and attuned to nature’s quiet wisdom. It's soft, cautious movements through the forest mirror the sensitivity of a soul learning to navigate life with awareness and grace.

In Native American traditions, the deer (and by extension the fawn) is often seen as a messenger of peace and unconditional love. The fawn, in particular, embodies the energy of compassion and intuitive sensitivity — a reminder that true strength can reside in gentleness. It teaches that one can move through life’s challenges not with aggression or force, but through trust, awareness, and quiet resilience. The fawn’s instinct to pause, listen, and observe before acting symbolizes spiritual mindfulness.

In Celtic and Druidic symbolism, the fawn is associated with the Otherworld and the guidance of the divine feminine. To encounter a fawn, even symbolically, is to be invited into a state of spiritual renewal — to return to the purity of perception, curiosity, and wonder. It represents the rebirth of innocence after hardship or the rediscovery of joy after sorrow.

Metaphysically, the fawn’s presence encourages us to reconnect with our inner child, honor our sensitivity, and trust the natural unfolding of life. It reminds us that gentleness is not weakness — it is a sacred power that opens hearts and heals. To carry the spirit of the fawn is to walk softly upon the earth, listening deeply, loving freely, and moving with grace through both light and shadow.

GUMMED STAMPS: These postage stamps have a traditional moisture-activated gum on the back. These stamps require licking or wetting to adhere to envelopes or other surfaces. To ensure good adhesion, apply vintage gummed stamps to your mailings with a glue stick (we recommend using Elmer's "Re-Stick" glue sticks).

PROCESSING & SHIPPING: Orders are typically processed and shipped within 1-3 business days of placing your order. All orders are shipped from California — please allow additional time for transit.
