Item Description
The beautiful sheet of 50 different Wildflowers was issued in a floral-arrangement-adorned room in the AmeriCover show hotel ballroom in Columbus, Ohio in 1992. It was just one event in the city-wide festival observing the Quadricentennial of Columbus -the-man 'discovering' the New World.One of those 50 flowers was the Indian Pond Lily, which adorns this FDC. The cachet is handcolored and shows a familiar scene that many of us have witnessed: four elves, one of them riding a bee, working together to paint a forest wildflower. The artwork was originally printed in black on a light salmon-hued envelope, and color was added with brush pens and colored pencils.
The single stamp from the sheet that franks this cover was hand-cancelled with the pictorial cancel only available at the main Columbus USPS distribution center celebrating Columbus '92 and the fact that the AFDCS was holding their annual convention in town.
Treat yoursELF . . and add this flowery collectible to your album!
