On April 14, 1982, the USPS issued a set of 50 stamps with the State Bird and State Flower of all 50 States. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the full-color stamp, depicting the State Bird (Brown Pelican) and State Flower (Magnolia) of Louisiana, cancelled from the city of issue (Washington DC) on the first day of issue captioned above.
The full color cachet (artwork on the envelope produced by a private company, not the post office) shows a beautiful Brown Pelican with a Magnolia in the foreground. It's printed on silk, the luster giving an almost three dimensional quality to the picture.
Double matted in green & white, it's sized to fit a standard 8x10 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity Included***
