This is a plain white cover with no cachet artwork — the left portion is blank. The stamp in the upper right is a Samoa 90 sene value depicting Eastern Reef Herons (Egretta sacra) in flight against a pastel sunset sky over water. The pictorial cancellation is a circular hand stamp reading 'World Columbian Stamp Exposition Station / Illinois USA' with a portrait of Christopher Columbus and a globe at center, dated May 22-31, 1992, with 'Apia Samoa' at the bottom.
