Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What image appeared on the first “Forever” stamp, introduced in 2007 at a price of 41 cents?"
...The first Forever stamp, issued by the U.S. Postal Service in April 2007, prominently featured a stylized image of the American flag. Priced at 41 cents—the standard First-Class Mail rate at the time—the stamp introduced a new concept: it would remain valid for first-class postage regardless of future rate increases. This innovation simplified mailing for consumers and quickly became a popular and enduring fixture in U.S. postage, with the flag design symbolizing both national identity and the stamp’s universal, lasting value.
