Signed First Day Cover

Descripción

This American artist is often remembered for his friendship with Carl Sandburg, which resulted in his striking 1968 U.S. postage stamp; other stamps include his award-winning 1972 "Sidney Lanier" and the 4-stamp 1973 series "Rise of the Spirit of Independence." Signed First Day Cover, 6½ X 3½", cancelled in Galesburg, Illinois on 6 January 1978 and with "First Day of Issue" boldly stamped. Single Smith-designed 13-cent "Carl Sandburg" stamp at upper right. Fine. No decorative cachet at left; no distracting recipient's name/address. Above the postal cancellation, in blue ballpoint, Smith signs and inscribes: "For Paul Johnston / William A. Smith." Small portion of original transmittal envelope present.
