Claude

This is a postal stationery card (not an envelope) featuring a cachet with six repeated grayscale portrait images of Lucille Ball arranged in a row, printed in dark gray/black ink. Below the portraits is the text 'LUCILLE BALL FESTIVAL OF NEW COMEDY STATION / JAMESTOWN, NY 14701 • MAY 18, 1992' serving as both cachet text and cancel information. The pre-printed stamp in the upper right shows a stylized American flag design in red, white, and blue, denominated 'USA 19' cents. The card appears to be in excellent, unused condition with a copyright notice '© USPS 1991' in the lower left corner.

Mistral

The cachet features six identical grayscale portraits of Lucille Ball with a surprised expression, arranged in a row. The artwork is crisp, with a black-and-white color scheme. The stamp is a 19-cent pre-printed USA Flag definitive. The postmark is a pictorial cancellation with the text 'LUCILLE BALL FESTIVAL OF NEW COMEDY' and the date 'MAY 18, 1992' from Jamestown, NY. The cover is in clean condition with no visible damage.

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