This official Art Craft first day cover features the 5¢ George Washington stamp from the Prominent Americans series, issued November 17, 1967, and postmarked at the ASDA National Postage Stamp Show in New York, NY.
The stamp commemorates the first president of the United States and his inauguration on April 30, 1789, in New York City, marking the formal beginning of the American presidency under the new Constitution.
The cachet illustrates the historic inauguration ceremony with a period engraving of Washington and other founding figures on the balcony of Federal Hall, tying the 1967 issue directly to that foundational 1789 event.
Collectors will appreciate this well-preserved example from the revised Prominent Americans series, offering strong display value for presidential or early-American history topical collections.
