JULIA WARD HOWE

(Famous American Series)

This hand-painted cachet will rank right up there among the most acclaimed of all COLLINS FDCs. It shows a Union Army artillery battery manning their cannon against a Confederate charge. The blue-uniformed soldiers are all action as they attempt to stem the Southern advance.

Through the billowing gunsmoke, the gray army advances behind their unfurled battle flag. This is a great and detailed cachet, and it is one that I highly recommend adding to your collection. (I ask that when you see it you pause a moment to consider the time needed to hand paint this FDC.)

Across the top a banner proclaims "Battle Hymn of the Republic" which Julia Howe wrote. A pair of the stamps with her likeness is tied to the cover with a Boston bullseye.

Again, a wonderful collectible that you will relish. A must for all military collectors. Item #C1201 - $8.00
