THIS STIRRING PRINT OF JOHNNY REB AND THE BATTLE FLAG IS JOINED WITH ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT- AFTER CIVIL WAR FIRST DAY COVERS. THE UNITED CONFEDERATE VETERANS STAMP, CANCELLED IN THE CITY OF ISSUE (NORFOLK, VIRGINIA) ON THE FIRST DAY OF ISSUE (MAY 30, 1951), COMMEMORATES THE FINAL ENCAMPMENT OF THE MEN IN GRAY.
NOT ONLY IS THIS COVER UNADDRESSED, BUT THE CACHET (ARTWORK ON THE ENVELOPE) IS IN FULL COLOR. IN 1951, THIS WAS VERY UNUSUAL - FULL COLOR CACHETS DID NOT BECOME PROMINENT UNTIL THE 1970'S.
MATTED IN GRAY AND GOLD, THIS PIECE WILL FIT A STANDARD 11 X 14 FRAME. A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY IS INCLUDED.
