The cachet artwork on the left features a black-and-white illustration of a giant panda sitting and eating bamboo, with the word 'TECHNICAL' printed below it. The stamp, located in the upper right, is a 29-cent denomination depicting two colorful King Penguins in shades of orange, yellow, black, and white, with the text 'King Penguins' and 'USA 29' printed alongside. The pictorial postmark, centered over the stamp, includes a detailed illustration of a panda, giraffe, and flamingo among bamboo vegetation, with the text 'FIRST DAY OF ISSUE,' 'Oct. 1, 1992,' and 'New Orleans, LA 70113.' The text 'Wild Animals' is hand-stamped in black ink below the cachet artwork. The cover is in clean, unused condition.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
