On May 28, 1984, the Canada Post issued a stamp commemorating the 75th Anniversary of the Canadian Red Cross. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the new stamp cancelled from the city of issue (Regina) on the first day of issue captioned above. Note the special postmark of a cross created to cancel this stamp on its 'birthday.'
The full-color cachet (artwork on the envelope) features a Red Cross nurse comforting two children...in the background a Red Cross volunteer rescues a family devastated by a flood. The Red Cross logo and Maple Leaf are also displayed. The producer of this cover has also written a brief history of the Canadian Red Cross, which we've included. Collectible, historic, this matted cover is the perfect piece of Canadian Red Cross memorabilia to proudly display on your wall.
Double matted in blue & white, it's sized to fit a standard 8x10 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity plus Commentary Included***
