On May 15, 1993, the USPS issued a set of stamps commemorating five different Spring Garden Flowers. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with all four stamps celebrating the Hyacinth, Daffodil, Tulip, Iris, and Lilac cancelled from the city of issue (Spokane, WA) on the first day of issue captioned above.
The full-color cachet (artwork on the envelope) features a composite of all five flowers. If you love flowers, especially the flowers of Spring, this is a particularly lovely cover featuring a complete set of beautiful, large, full-color stamps creating their own 'garden artwork.' The producer of this cover has also written a brief commentary about this set of flowers as well as a short tribute of the artist who designed the cachet, Karen Mallary.
Double matted in green and white, it's sized to fit a standard 8 x 10 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity plus Commentary Included***
