On May 13, 1981, the USPS issued a set of four stamps commemorating Butterflies. One of these is the Checkerspot, also known as the Baltimore since its black & orange colors are also on the insignia of Lord Baltimore. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the stamp cancelled from the city of issue (Indianapolis) on the first day of issue captioned above.
The full-color cachet (artwork on the envelope) shows off the contrasting black & orange pattern of the Checkerspot.
Double matted in green and white, this piece will fit a standard 8 x 10 picture frame. For anyone who loves the magic of butterflies, this is truly a unique gift. ***Certificate of Authenticity Included as well as a short Commentary about the Checkerspot***
