Mistral

This First Day Cover features a 29-cent stamp from the Literary Arts Series, commemorating Dorothy Parker, an American writer and poet. The cachet, designed by the House of Farnum, depicts Parker in an Art Nouveau style, seated at a typewriter with a flower-adorned hat, rendered in muted earth tones. The postmark is a circular cancellation with the text 'West End, NJ' and the date 'Aug 22, 1992', along with the ZIP code '07740'. The condition of the cover appears to be pristine, with clear and legible text and artwork.

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