This Art Craft official first day cover features the 13¢ Arkansas stamp from the State Flags of the United States series, postmarked in Washington, DC on February 23, 1976.
Issued during the American Bicentennial, the 1976 State Flags series honored each of the fifty states with its own flag design, celebrating the nation's founding principles and regional identities two hundred years after independence.
The cachet depicts the "First Stars and Stripes" flag being presented to General Washington, highlighting the Revolutionary War origins of the American flag and tying the Arkansas issue to the broader bicentennial theme.
A strong addition for collectors of U.S. bicentennial issues, state flags topicals, or Art Craft cachets, this cover displays fresh color and a clear first-day cancel.
