This Artmaster First Day Cover features the 8¢ Dwight D. Eisenhower stamp issued May 10, 1971, in Washington, DC. The cover displays a full pane of eight booklet stamps with the official first-day cancel tying the issue.
Eisenhower, Supreme Allied Commander in World War II and 34th U.S. President, is honored on this stamp released during the first-class postal rate increase from 6¢ to 8¢. The cachet also notes the 1971 booklet format change.
A notable detail is the Artmaster portrait of Eisenhower paired with the actual stamp pane, creating a striking visual match. The cover is addressed to E. A. Fickenscher in Erie, Pennsylvania.
A clean, well-centered example ideal for collectors of presidential issues, 1970s FDCs, or U.S. postal-rate history.
