FREDERICK DOUGLAS Abolitionist 1st Day Postal Cover....
On June 29, 1995, the USPS issued a set of twenty stamps to commemorate the American Civil War. Shown here is a genuine 1st Day Postal Cover - an envelope with one of these stamps honoring abolitionist and advisor to President Lincoln - Frederick Douglas, cancelled from the city of issue (Gettysburg, PA) on the first day of issue captioned above. The cachet
(artwork on the envelope) depicts a photo of Douglas. The company that
produced this cover has also written a commentary about Frederick
Douglas, which we've included.
Matted in blue and white, this piece is sized to fit a standard 8x10 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity plus Commentary Included***
