The stamp is a 45-toea Papua New Guinea issue depicting the historical vessel 'D'Albertis - Neva, 1876,' showing a small steam-powered riverboat with passengers navigating a tropical waterway surrounded by palm trees. The postmark is a pictorial oval cancellation applied by the P.N.G. Philatelic Bureau for World Stamp Expo '92 in Chicago, USA, dated May 22 to 31, 1992, featuring a Bird of Paradise illustration in the center.

This First Day Cover features a 45t Papua New Guinea stamp depicting the historical steam-powered riverboat 'D'Albertis - Neva' navigating a tropical river in 1876, with lush greenery and palm trees in the background. The postmark is a pictorial cancellation with a Bird of Paradise design, dated May 22, 1992, from the P.N.G. Philatelic Bureau at the World Stamp Expo in Chicago.
