Close to 2,000 photos from the Civil War were used to create the portrait. I can't find the SS in Scott's so I don't know the issue date or Scott number. I can only think it was issued after 1994 as that is the year the printing process
used to print it was patented.
Due to the restrictions on the board as to size it will probably not show up well in this posting.

Randy, Thanks much. I see that I misread the date on the bottom of the sheet which had me looking for it at a much later date. It is Scott No.1890

Very cool souvenir sheet. I've often wondered how this type of mosaic is created as they are quite fascinating.

There's some interesting info about this stamp in a Linns article from 2001 (Stamp no.5):

Oh yes, the "Six fingered Roosevelt". My parents would have said
he has six fingers
better to pick people's pockets.
