This official Art Craft first day cover features the 5¢ George Washington stamp from the Prominent Americans series, postmarked November 17, 1967, at the ASDA National Postage Stamp Show in New York, NY.
George Washington’s inauguration on April 30, 1789, at Federal Hall in New York City marked the beginning of the American presidency under the new Constitution, a pivotal moment that established the executive branch and set enduring precedents for the young republic.
The cachet illustrates the historic inauguration ceremony on the balcony of Federal Hall with a cameo portrait of Washington, tying the 1967 stamp directly to its 1789 New York origins; the cover is noted as part of the “Revised” Prominent Americans series.
A fine addition for collectors of presidential topicals, Prominent Americans issues, or Art Craft cachets, this cover displays sharp postmarking and clean graphics ideal for display or album mounting.
