Christmas Religious

Madonna and Child by Antoniazzo Romano

Collins Cover Announcement 

CHRISTMAS - RELIGIOUS

 

The hand-painted cachet in this seasonal cover is extremely nice. A manger scene is the central theme, and it achieves a realistic and gentle appearance. To the left, three large candles burn with holiday cheer and light and at their base green pointed holly sprigs with bright red berries lend their presence to the spirit of Christmas. A bold frame trimmed by hand-painted edges surrounds the central Nativity rendition and the holiday candles with holly.

The stamp has the Houston, Texas Day of Issue bullseye cancel. Its coloring goes very well with those chosen for the cachet. This is a very crisp and clean COLLINS FDC. An excellent Christmas collectible offered to you as the holidays quickly ascend upon us. Item #U1901. $10.50
