Mistral
This First Day Cover features a detailed cachet with a sepia-toned illustration of Christopher Columbus's ships—the Niña, Pinta, and Santa Maria—sailing toward the New World. The cachet artwork is positioned below a reproduction of the 1869 15-cent 'Landing of Columbus' stamp, which is prominently displayed in blue and red. The cover bears a 29-cent commemorative stamp (Scott #2616) with a pictorial cancellation featuring a young stamp collector and the text 'STAMP EXPO '92 / YOUTH DAY' dated May 24, 1992. The cover is in pristine condition, with clear and legible text, and is identified as an ArtCraft Official Souvenir Card for the World Columbian Stamp Expo '92 held in Chicago.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
