On August 29, 1991, the USPS issued a set of five stamps to honor COMEDIANS....Jack Benny, Fanny Brice, Abbott & Costello, Laurel & Hardy, and Bergen & McCarthy. The stamps features the artwork of noted cartoonist, Al Hirschfeld. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with all five stampa cancelled from the city of issue (Hollywood, CA) on the first day of issue captioned above.
The black & white cachet (artwork on the envelope) features the 1918 Grauman's Million Dollar Theatre in Los Angeles as well as the mask of comedy. From Vaudville, to radio, to television, these five comedians have entertained us with laughter for almost a century. Collectible, historic, this cover is a piece of movie and postal memorabilia.
Double matted in blue & white, this piece will fit a standard 8 x 10 picture frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity Included***
