About our Logo: Wilmington, North Carolina was the home of Mrs. Anna Matilda McNeill Whistler (Whistler's Mother). She was honored on a stamp that was issued as a tribute to all mothers in America. The stamp shows a reproduction of the painting by James Abbot McNeill Whistler entitled, "Portrait of My Mother." The stamp (Scott #737 & 738) was first placed on sale on May 2, 1934 and is known as the Mother's Day stamp. From a woman's perspective, visit Married to a Philatelist.
