Scott 815

Issued 2nd Sep 1938. Rotary Press Printed on unwatermarked paper and perf 11:10½. This stamp features John Tyler (29th Mar 1790 - 18th Jan 1862), the tenth President of the USA (4th Apr 1841 - 4th Mar 1845). An example of a Standard International Letter featuring this stamp.

John Tyler was the tenth president of the United States from 1841 to 1845 after briefly serving as the tenth vice president in 1841; he was elected vice president on the 1840 Whig ticket with President William Henry Harrison. Tyler ascended to the presidency after Harrison's death in April 1841, only a month after the start of the new administration. He was a stalwart supporter and advocate of states' rights, and he adopted nationalist policies as president only when they did not infringe on the powers of the states. His unexpected rise to the presidency posed a threat to the presidential ambitions of Henry Clay and other politicians, and left Tyler estranged from both major political parties.
