This cover has no cachet artwork on the left side — it is a plain white envelope. The stamp is a 29-cent U.S. 'World Columbian Stamp Expo '92' commemorative, featuring a detail of the 1869 U.S. Postage stamp design depicting Columbus's landing party, with ornate brown 'U.S. Postage' lettering and a yellow top panel. The pictorial cancellation depicts a tall sailing ship (likely Columbus's Santa María) with 'Ropex Station / March 27, 1992 / Rochester, N.Y. 146--' in an arc. The cover is in good condition with a minor stain on the lower left.
Mistral
A First Day Cover featuring a 29-cent U.S. commemorative stamp from the World Columbian Stamp Expo '92, depicting Christopher Columbus and his crew landing in the New World. The stamp is cancelled with a pictorial postmark showing Columbus's ship, the Santa María, in full sail, with the text 'ROPEX STATION' and 'ROCHESTER, N.Y. 146' in an arc. The plain white envelope is in good condition with minor staining on the lower left. The cachet artwork is minimal, with no additional design beyond the postmark.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
