On September 27, 1978, the Post Office of Canada issued a stamp commemorating the Inuit Eskimos. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the new stamp cancelled from the city of issue (Ottawa) on the first day of issue captioned above. In short, it's the 'birthday' of the stamp - a collectible, historic piece of postal memorabilia. Note the clever cancellation.
The full-color cachet (artwork on the envelope) features an Inuit man close-up and on his dogsled. The stamp shows a piece of Inuit carving again featuring the dogsled.
Double matted in blue and white. it's sized to fit a standard 8 x 10 picture frame. ***CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY INCLUDED PLUS A BRIEF COMMENTARY ON THE INUIT AND THE IMPORTANCE THAT THE DOGSLED AND TEAM PLAYED IN HUNTING SEALS.***
