The cachet features a minimalist line-drawing of a hummingbird in flight with stylized wavy lines suggesting motion or flowers, rendered in black ink on white envelope. The stamp is the 29-cent Rufous Hummingbird booklet stamp (Scott 2645), depicting a red-and-brown hummingbird perched near orange flowers, printed by photogravure. The postmark is a machine cancellation reading 'June 15, 1992 / Washington, DC 20066' with 'FIRST DAY OF ISSUE' text. Extensive printed text on the cachet provides full technical details including designer (Chuck Ripper), printing process, colors, booklet pane size, image area size, plate number information, and notes this is cover #7 of 10.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
