Mistral

This First Day Cover features a cachet with a detailed black ink profile portrait of Robert F. Kennedy on a light blue background, including the U.S. Capitol building in the background. The stamp is a 15-cent definitive issue with a portrait of Kennedy in blue, canceled with a circular postmark. The postmark is clearly legible and includes the date and location. The envelope is in good condition with no visible damage.

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