This Art Craft First Day Cover features the 1967 20¢ United States airmail stamp honoring John James Audubon, postmarked on the first day of issue, April 26, 1967, in Audubon, New York. The stamp depicts the Columbia Jay in full color with Audubon’s name and dates (1785-1851).
Audubon’s monumental work, Birds of America, established him as America’s foremost ornithological artist and naturalist. His detailed illustrations helped shape 19th-century understanding of North American bird species and remain iconic in both art and science.
The cachet illustrates two Columbia Jays perched among foliage alongside a sleek four-engine jet, cleverly linking Audubon’s avian subjects with the airmail theme. The “First Day of Issue” hand cancel and Art Craft logo confirm its status as an official philatelic issue from the 1967 airmail series.
A strong addition for collectors of airmail stamps, bird topicals, or Art Craft cachets, this cover displays fresh condition with a clear postmark and attractive dual-theme design.
