If you were spellbound reading about the Battle of Trenton initiated by Washington's surprise attack on Hessian forces on the morning of December 26, 1776, in David McCullough's bestseller, 1776, this Commemorative Cover is for you. The American Eagle and Shield stamp is cancelled exactly 200 years after this historic event in Trenton, N.J. Remember that on a Commemorative Cover it is nothing to do with the stamp and everything to do with the cancellation, which "freezes" a place and a date that an important event occurred.
The cachet (artwork on the envelope) features a full-color print from a painting of Washington and his troops at Trenton plus a historical blurb of this event. It's printed on silk surrounded by gold embossing. Historic, collectible, this is one of several pieces of Revolutionary War Postal Memorabilia offered by Wall Art Collectibles.
Double matted in blue & white, this is matted to fit a standard 8 x 10 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity Included***
