This is a USPS postal card (not a separate envelope/stamp FDC) featuring a machine cancellation serving as the commemorative cachet, printed directly on the card face. The cancel design includes a geometric square motif reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural style, with text reading '125th Anniversary... FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT 1867 • 1959.' A rectangular pictorial postmark from 'Celebration Station, Richland Center, Wisconsin 53581' dated June 6, 1992 is applied adjacent. The pre-printed stamp in the upper right depicts the American flag in red, white, and blue at a diagonal angle, denominated USA 19 cents. The card is in excellent condition with copyright notice '© USPS 1991' in the lower left and 'FDOLUS' watermark-style text at bottom right.

This First Day Cover features a minimalist cachet design with black text and a geometric square motif, commemorating the 125th anniversary of architect Frank Lloyd Wright's birth. The pre-printed 19-cent stamp showcases a red, white, and blue American flag design, with 'USA 19' printed vertically. A pictorial postmark from Richland Center, Wisconsin, dated June 6, 1992, overlaps the stamp. The postmark includes the text 'Celebration Station' and a geometric design reflecting Wright's architectural style. The cover is in clean condition with no visible damage.

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