The USPS honored Ralph Waldo Emerson with a stamp in 1940. In 1989 a company decided to produce a Commemorative Cover to celebrate this stamp. In this case, the postal cancellation "freezes" the day Emerson was born (May 25) and the city in which he was born in 1803 (Boston) 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 Emerson stamp issued 2/05/40 in mint condition (uncancelled and unaffixed.)
If you're an Emerson fan and find inspiration in his poems and essays,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 Emerson is Included ***
