On May 17, 1969, the USPS issued a stamp to honor the "Father of the Blues" W.C. Handy on the 150th Anniversary of the City of Memphis, celebrated by Handy's famous composition The Memphis Blues. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover with his stamp cancelled from the city of issue (Memphis, TN) on the first day of issue captioned above.
The black & white cachet (artwork on the envelope) shows Handy and the sheet music for The Memphis Blues.
Double matted in blue & white, it's sized to fit a standard 8 X 10 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity Included***
