On March 5, 2003, the country of New Zealand issued a set of five gorgeous stamps commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Royal New Zealand Ballet. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with all five stamps featuring five different ballets cancelled from the city of issue (Wanganui) on the first day of issue captioned above. Note the special postmark created to cancel this stamp on the first day of issue.
The full-color cachet (artwork on the envelope) features a pas de deux from a contemporary ballet. The ballets highlighted on the stamps are: Carmina Burana, Papillon, Cinderella, FrENZy, and Swan Lake.
Matted in blue, it's sized to fit a standard 8 x 10 frame. *** Certificate of Authenticity Included***
