Collins Cover Announcement 

RACHEL CARSON

The cachet is hand painted in colors that compliment the stamp very well. Various flowers and a butterfly provide a background for a portrait of Carson whom in her writings alerted her readers to the balance of nature. Choosing this nature theme in both the cachet and unofficial cancel, a pair of stamps is postmarked at Meadow Lands, PA. An additional pair has the "First Day of Issue" hand cancel at Springdale, PA. This is a very attractive cover. Item #Z301 - $5.75
