In 1898, a Trans-Mississippi Exposition[?] was held at Omaha, Nebraska. The exposition itself is long-forgotten, but the postage stamps of the Trans-Mississippi Exposition Issue[?] are considered some of the most beautiful stamps ever issued by the US, and a complete set of the "Trans-Miss" is highly prized. In 1998, a set of stamps using designs derived from the original issue was issued to commemorate its 100th anniversary.
