William Faulkner... The USPS honored the southern author and recipient of two Pulitzer prizes as well as the Nobel prize for literature, William Faulkner with a stamp in 1987. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the new stamp cancelled from the city of issue (Oxford, Ms.) on the first day of issue (August 3, 1987.)
The green-toned cachet (artwork on the envelope) features a portrait of Faulkner along with a selection of his books at the bottom - Sartoris, Sanctuary, Light in August, The Sound and the Fury, and The Reivers. Historic, collectible, it's double matted in green & white and will fit a standard 8 x 10 picture frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity Included *** |
