The ArtCraft cachet features a detailed green engraving-style illustration of Columbus's sailing ships (the Santa María and other vessels) on rough seas, with 'Columbus Day' in elegant script below and a small vignette showing Columbus's portrait with a globe. The stamp is a 29-cent U.S. Postage stamp depicting a scene of Columbus's landing with multiple figures, issued for the World Columbian Stamp Expo '92 (Chicago, May 22-31, 1992). The pictorial cancellation is a black hand stamp featuring a sailing ship within a perforated stamp outline, reading 'WORLD COLUMBIAN STAMP EXPO '92 STA / COLUMBUS DAY / MAY 22, 1992 / CHICAGO, IL 60607'. The cover is in excellent, clean condition with no visible flaws.
