Global High-Value
International Forever Stamp in Round Format
This very distinctive and different circular stamp features the globe in natural colors. It is a beauty.
The interesting and intriguing individually hand painted cachet is the most time-consuming watercolored cover I've ever produced in my cachetmaking history! It is an amazing piece of philatelic art. Individuals from around the world are depicted in their native dress. North America, Europe, South America, Asia, Africa, and Australia are all represented.
A Scottish bagpiper stands next to a Japanese geisha. A Dutch girl is in front of a Masai warrior. And a Peruvian mother with her child is flanked by an Australian Aborigine playing a didgeridoo and a furclad Alaskan Eskimo bundled up against the harsh Arctic cold.
Please take a look at the scope and intricacy of this cachet and then appreciate that every single bit of color on the cover you receive for your collection will be the result of brush stroke by precise, ever-socareful brush stroke. No computer graphics. No mass production. Simply the skilled artistic craftsmanship that has always been the standard of Collins First Day Covers.
Now ready is my $1.10 high-value round Global stamp hand painted First Day Cover with an international representation of world-wide cultures. Incredible. Collins #Q5101 at $18.50.
