On January 19, 2001, the USPS issued its Love Stamp for the year. A single rose is superimposed over a Love Letter...and not just any love letter. This letter is one of perhaps hundreds that was written by Abigail Adams to her husband John, the 2nd President of the United States, and John to Abigail. Theirs was a love story that endured over 50 years of marriage. Best friends, confidants, husband & wife, John and Abigail's devotion to one another through good times, bitter disappointment, sickness, the loss of children, all set against the backdrop of a struggling new nation, make theirs The Great American Love Story.
Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the new stamp cancelled from the city of issue (Tucson, AZ) on the first day of issue captioned above.
The full-color cachet (artwork on the envelope) repeats the theme of the stamp with the rose and letter. Rendered in watercolors, the cover honors one of the time-old elements of love, courtship and marriage...the Love Letter. Whether you are just beginning your life together, separated by war or circumstance, or, in a marriage or relationship that has withstood the test of time, this historic, collectible cover is an eloquent way to say, "I love you."
Double matted in green & white, we've sized it to fit a standard 8 X 10 frame. At Wall Art Collectibles we always mat to standard frame sizes giving you the option of selecting the frame of your choice. ***Certificate of Authenticity Included***
