From the National Postal Museum: "James Barkley's montage highlights historic mail transportation, the theme of the National Postal Museum's 'Moving the Mail' exhibition gallery. It includes bicycles, mail trucks, and early airplanes. The Pony Express rider, recalling one of the most colorful chapters in postal service history, is also the subject of several museum displays. Mr. Barkley's distinguished philatelic career began in 1972, with his design of the Mount McKinley stamp in the National Parks Centennial series."
