On April 13, 2004, the USPS issued a stamp to honor the brilliant composer and musical arranger of film and television, Henry Mancini. From "Moon River" to the score for the "Pink Panther," many of our most-loved movies and television shows were enhanced my Mancini's scores. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with his stamp (with the Pink Panther in the lower left corner) cancelled form the city of issue (Los Angeles, CA) on the first day of issue captioned above. Note the special postmark featuring Mancini's signature and a musical bar used to cancel his stamp on its 'birthday.'
The cachet (artwork on the envelope) features a black & white photo of Mancini, chosen by his family to appear on this cover. It's printed on silk, with his name appearing on the bottom in 'pink'...the 'panther' would be proud!'
Double matted in blue & white, it will fit a standard 8 x 10 picture frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity Included***
