This Artmaster cachet First Day Cover features the 1968 Law and Order 6¢ commemorative stamp, postmarked in Washington, DC on May 17, 1968, the official first day of issue.
Issued amid the social turbulence of the late 1960s, the stamp highlighted national concerns over crime, civil unrest, and the role of law enforcement in American communities.
The attractive black-and-white cachet shows a smiling police officer seated on a park bench chatting with two young boys and their dog, underscoring the era’s emphasis on community-oriented policing.
The cover is addressed to Trumansburg, New York, a historic village in the Finger Lakes region known for its 19th-century architecture and rural charm.
A clean, well-centered example that makes an appealing addition to collections focused on law enforcement, 1960s commemoratives, or Artmaster cachets.
