Arthur Ashe.... On August 27, 2005, the
USPS issued a stamp to honor tennis great Arthur Ashe. Shown here is a genuine First
Day Cover, an envelope with the imprint or "stamp" cancelled from the city of issue (Flushing,
NY) on the first day of issue captioned above. Note the
special postmark created for the cancellation of this stamp on the first
day.
The full-color cachet
(artwork on the envelope) features a picture of Ashe with racket in
hand. A great tennis player, a champion of civil rights, Ashe earned the
respect of all on and off the court.
Double matted in green & white, this piece is sized to fit a standard 8
x 10 frame.
