This is a Swiss PTT philatelic booklet rather than a traditional First Day Cover envelope. The front (Image 1) features the minimalist red Swiss cross PTT logo in the upper right on a clean white background. The interior (Image 2) shows four Helvetia stamps depicting Swiss bridges in denominations of 50, 70, 80, and 90 centimes, with a circular cancellation dated 31-7-91 from Bern (BERN) with 'PHILATELIE' text. The left panel contains promotional text in four languages (German, French, Italian, English) encouraging philatelic subscriptions.
