Mistral
This First Day Cover features a black-and-white Art Craft cachet with two images: a crowded scene of people in front of modern housing and a scene of farm production with a tractor plowing a field. The cachet includes the UN emblem and the text 'Honoring United Nations Study of Population Trends and Development.' The cover bears a block of four identical 5-cent UN stamps with silhouetted family figures against a colorful stained-glass-style background. The postmark is a circular 'First Day of Issue' cancellation with the city and date. The cover has a light gray cancellation mark and is in good condition.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
