On May 13, 1981, the USPS issued a set of four stamps commemorating Butterflies. One of these is the Swallowtail, the family that includes many of the largest and most beautifully colored American butterflies. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the stamp cancelled from the city of issue (Indianapolis) on the first day of issue captioned above.
The full-color cachet (artwork on the envelope) depicts a Swallowtail found in the northwestern U.S. The producer of this cover has written a brief commentary about the Swallowtail, which we've included.
Double matted in green and white, this piece will fit a standard 8 x 10 picture frame. For anyone who loves the magic of butterflies, this is truly a unique gift. ***Certificate of Authenticity plus Commentary Included***
