Georgetown University.... On January 23, 1989, the USPS issued an imprinted postcard with the imprint or "stamp" commemorating the 200th Anniversary of Georgetown University, founded by John Carroll. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, in this case a postcard with the imprint or "stamp" cancelled from the city of issue (Washington DC) on the first day of issue captioned above. The 'stamp' shows historic Healy Hall, the flagship building of the University and named for the first Black President of an American University, Patrick Healy..
The cachet (artwork on the envelope) depicts Healy Hall with a picture of Rev. Patrick F. Healy,
the 29th president of Georgetown and first black president of a major
American college. The company that produced this cover has also
written a brief commentary about Healy Hall, which we've included.
Double matted in blue & white, it's sized to fit a standard 8 x 10 frame. ***CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY PLUS COMMENTARY INCLUDED***
