The USPS honored Edgar Allan Poe with a stamp in 1949. In 1989 a company decided to produce a Commemorative Cover to celebrate this stamp. In this case, the postal cancellation "freezes" the day Poe was born (January 19) and the city in which he was born in 1809 (Boston, Ma.) The only reason the flag stamp is on the envelope is that the USPS will not cancel unless there is current postage.
The cachet (artwork on the envelope) features the an original Poe stamp issued 10/07/49 in mint condition (uncancelled and unaffixed.)
If you're a Poe fan and a lover of mysteries, this is for you! Collectible, historic, it's a real conversation piece for your wall.
Matted in green, we've sized this to fit a standard 8 x 10 frame. ***A Short Bio of Poe is Included ***
