Linus Pauling.... On March 6, 2008, the USPS issued a set of stamps honoring another set of four American Scientists - Linus Pauling, John Bardeen, Gerty Cori, and Edwin Hubble. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the stamp for American Chemist Linus Pauling cancelled from the city of issue (New York, NY) on the first day of issue
captioned above. Note the special 'atom' postmark created to cancel
this set of stamps on their 'birthday', featuring a unique font and a
microscope.
The full-color cachet (artwork
on the envelope) depicts a portrait of Pauling, two-time recipient of
the Nobel Prize and certainly one of the most important scientists of
the 20th century. The company that produced this cover has also written a brief commentary about Pauling, which we've included.
Double matted in blue and white, it's sized to fit a standard 8x10 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity plus Commentary Included***
