Image description

Block of four of the 2-cent Grand Canyon special printing, known as "Farley's Follies," autographed by Postmaster General James A. Farley in his green-ink signature and dated March 15, 1935, the first day of issue of the special printing. Farley had come under intense criticism after it was discovered that he had given uncut press sheets to friends and family members. The special printings were intended to duplicate the material that Farley had given away.
