Mistral
This First Day Cover features a black-and-white cachet with a youthful figure in a contemplative pose, hands clasped, against a minimalist background, symbolizing Youth Day at the World Columbian Stamp Expo '92. The stamp is a 29-cent green New York Stock Exchange Bicentennial issue (Scott 2630), depicting the NYSE building façade and a bicentennial logo. The postmark is a hand-applied cancellation with the text 'WORLD COLUMBIAN STAMP EXPO '92 STATION' and the date 'MAY 24, 1992.' The cover shows signs of aging, including yellowing and sun fading.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
