On January 1, 1892, the first immigrants landed on Ellis Island in New York City's Harbor. Shown here is a Commemorative Cover "freezing" that day of January 1 and the place of New York City. A Commemorative Cover is not about the stamp...the two stamps on this cover serve the purpose of providing current postage. The fact that a Statue of Liberty stamp and a Supreme Court stamp were selected further adds to the historical value of this cover.
The full-color cachet (artwork on the envelope) features the beautiful art of Mort Kuntsler depicting some of the many nationalities that made its way to America's shores as well as the building on Ellis Island in the background. If your family came to the US through Ellis Island, this cover is a beautiful way to display your heritage.
Matted in blue, this piece will fit a standard 8 x 10 picture frame. ***A short commentary of this event is included***
