The 10-cent Shield and Eagle stamp from the USA in 1869 is part of the Pictorial Issue series, which was a significant departure from the traditional stamp designs featuring only portraits of statesmen. This stamp, along with others in the series, depicted various images beyond national leaders. The 1869 Pictorial Issue marked the first time US stamps were printed in two colors, with the 10-cent stamp showcasing the American bald eagle perched atop a shield. The Pictorial Issue stamps were printed by the National Bank Note Company and were met with mixed reviews due to design, shape, and gum quality. The 1869 Pictorial Issue is considered a highlight in US philately for its innovative use of multiple colors, setting it apart until 1918
