Hand-drawn cachet by artist 'Rita' depicts Luis Muñoz Marín in a white suit with blue tie, raising his right hand as if taking an oath, standing before palm trees on a green lawn with 'PUERTO RICO' labeled below. The cover bears a block of six red 5-cent Luis Muñoz Marín definitive stamps (USA) plus a single green 3-cent 'First Gubernatorial Election in Puerto Rico' commemorative stamp showing a voter holding a ballot. Two circular San Juan, PR postmarks dated February 18, 1990 cancel the stamps, with 'FIRST DAY OF ISSUE' inscription visible on the selvage of the block.

Mistral

The cachet features a hand-drawn illustration of Luis Muñoz Marín in a white suit, raising his right hand in an oath-taking gesture, set against a background of palm trees and a green outline of Puerto Rico. The cover includes a block of six red 5-cent Luis Muñoz Marín definitive stamps and a single 3-cent green commemorative stamp marking the first gubernatorial election in Puerto Rico. Both sets of stamps are canceled with circular San Juan postmarks dated February 18, 1990. The cachet text reads 'Luis Muñoz Marín - The First Elected Governor of Puerto Rico' in bold black letters. The cover is in clean condition with clear postmarks.

(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
