This Art Craft cachet First Day Cover features the 25¢ Frederick Douglass stamp issued February 14, 1967, in Washington, DC. The cover displays a striking portrait of Douglass alongside broken chains, with text noting his roles as U.S. abolitionist and Minister to Haiti, part of the Prominent Americans series.
Frederick Douglass (1817-1891) rose from slavery to become one of the most powerful voices for freedom and equality in 19th-century America. His eloquent oratory, autobiographies, and advocacy helped shape the abolitionist movement and influenced later civil rights efforts.
The cachet's dramatic broken-chain motif and the "Prominent Americans" inscription highlight Douglass's extraordinary journey and diplomatic service in Haiti. The crisp Washington, DC postmark confirms its official first-day status.
A strong addition for collectors of African American history, civil rights, or Prominent Americans series FDCs, this cover remains in excellent condition with sharp graphics and a clear cancel.
