On August 24, 1987, the country of Malawi in southeastern Africa issued a stamp to celebrate the Hippopotamus. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the full-color stamp cancelled from Malawi on the first day of issue captioned above. Note the special 'Hippopotamus feeding on grass' postmark created to cancel this stamp on its 'birthday.'
The full-color cachet (artwork on the envelope) features a finely rendered drawing of two hippos in grasslands. The producer of this cover has also written a brief commentary about the Hippopotamus in English, French, and German.
Matted in blue, it's sized to fit a standard 8x10 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity plus Commentary Included***
