Frank Lloyd Wright ROBIE HOUSE Drawing 1st Day Cover..... Frank Lloyd Wright ROBIE HOUSE Drawing 1st Day Cover.....On
February 3, 1998, the USPS issued a set of fifteen stamps to
commemorate people and events of the first decade of the 20th century.
The entire set of 150 stamps (15 for all ten decades) was called Celebrate the Century. One of these was for the Robie House in Chicago and the architect who designed it, Frank Lloyd Wright. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the new stamp cancelled from the city of issue (Washington DC) on the first day of issue captioned above. The full color stamp features an outside view of Robie House.
The cachet (artwork on the envelope) features a 1937 photo of Frank Lloyd Wright and members of the Taliesin Fellowship
at Taliesin East - Spring Green. The company that produced this cover
has also written a commentary about Robie House, which we've included. The
cover is joined by a print showing Frank Lloyd Wright's perspective and
partial plan of Robie House rendered in sepia ink on tan art paper. We
have double matted the print using an interior mat of tan mat with
black core to make the drawing pop. A Postal Stamp Art exclusive, imagine this piece on your office wall.
Matted in black, it's sized to fit a standard 11x14 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity plus Commentary Included***
