On January 26,1983, the Royal Mail of Great Britain issued a stamp commemorating the Perch. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the new stamp cancelled from the city of issue (Edinburgh) on the first day of issue captioned above. In short, it's the 'birthday' of the stamp - a collectible, historic piece of postal, as well as fishing memorabilia. Note the clever cancellation.
The full-color cachet (artwork on the envelope) features this small yet elusive fish found in waters of both Europe and the United States.
Matted in green, it's sized to fit a standard 8 x 10 picture frame. ***CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY INCLUDED PLUS A BRIEF COMMENTARY ON THE PERCH***
