This cover features no cachet artwork on the left side — it is a plain white envelope. The stamp in the upper right is a Russian 5p stamp (POCCIA·ROSSIJA) depicting a joint space flight theme ('Совместный Космический Полет'), showing an astronaut/cosmonaut in a spacecraft cockpit with colorful national flag ribbons (Russian, German, and others) in the background. The circular pictorial cancel reads 'Russia Stamp Agency in North America' around the border, with a stylized logo in the center and 'WCSE '92 / May 22-31 / 1992' in the middle, commemorating the World Columbian Stamp Expo.
