MARY CAS SATT

This FDC in the Famous American series pays tribute to American artist Mary Cassatt. The theme of this hand-painted cachet is the artist's pallet with varying paints. A hand with brush is applying paint and shown as the main subject is a naturescape. Sky. Mountains. Forests. River. All done in the earth colors as shown on the pallet. This is an interesting cover because it is a hand-painted cachet showing a hand painting a cachet. Something a little different.

A pair of the twenty-three cent stamps is postmarked with the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania bullseye. Item #G1501 $8.25.
