VERY FINE EXAMPLE OF THE FIRST EDITION 1959 LABRADOR RETRIEVER DUCK STAMP PRINT -- ARGUABLY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND CERTAINLY THE MOST POPULAR DESIGN OF THE DUCK STAMP SERIES.

The Labrador retriever depicted on the 1959 issue was named King Buck and was a national champion dog. This is the only Duck Stamp issue to depict a dog as its central theme. Four editions of this print were issued, the first three differentiated mainly by the reeds to the left of the duck in King Buck's mouth. The First edition is the most desirable though all editions are in high demand due to the popularity of the design.
