On April 23, 1981, the USPS issued a set of four stamps to celebrate four different flowers. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the stamp honoring the Camellia cancelled from the city of issue (Ft. Valley, GA) on the first day of issue captioned above.
The full-color cachet (artwork on the envelope) features the Camellia in an Oriental painting. Native to the forests and gardens of the Far East, Camellias were brought to the West by early sailors. The company that produced this cover has written a brief commentary about the Camellia, which we've included.
Double matted in green and white, it's sized to fit a standard 8 x 10 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity plus Commentary Included***
