On October 7, 1982, the USPS issued a stamp to honor St. Francis of Assisi, founder of the Franciscan Order of monks and associated with his love for the poor and animals, on the 800th Anniversary of his birth in 1182. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the new stamp cancelled from the city of issue (San Francisco, CA) on the first day of issue captioned above.
The black and white cachet (artwork on the envelope) features a portrait of St. Francis. The stamp depicts St. Francis surrounded by birds. Historic, collectible, this is one of many items honoring notable people offered by Wall Art Collectibles.
Double matted in green & white, it's sized to fit a standard 8 x 10 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity Included***
