On September 7, 1991, the USPS issued a stamp commemorating the 200th Anniversary of the District of Columbia. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the full-color stamp, depicting Pennsylvania Avenue circa 1903, cancelled from the city of issue (Washington DC) on the first day of issue captioned above.
The full-color cachet (artwork on the envelope produced by a private company, not the post office) features views of the nation's Capital...The American Flag, the US Capitol, the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. It's printed on silk, the luminosity bringing a vibrancy to the colors, making the picture look almost three-dimensional.
Double matted in blue & white, it's sized to fit a standard 8x10 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity Included***
