Presidential Portraits on Display Library
Come see the works of artist Don Bloom.
Visit the East Brunswick Public Library during January and see the works of local artist Don Bloom. Bloom’s portraits of American presidents are based on a series of Presidential stamps put out by the United States Postal Service in 1986, with additions of America’s more recent residents. The portraits were drawn after being commissioned by Edward Mendlowitz so that they could be printed on envelopes and have the new stamps cancelled with a special “First Day Issue” postmark.

This exhibit is part of the Library’s Celebrate New Jersey month. For more…
