Plain white envelope with no cachet artwork. Two Australian 45c stamps from the 'Threatened Species' series are affixed: one depicting a Squirrel Glider and one depicting a Rufous Hare-wallaby, both shown in natural habitat settings with orange text borders. A rectangular pictorial cancellation from the World Columbian Stamp Expo reads 'Australia Post / Chicago USA / May 22-31 1992' with a map/globe design element. The cover is in excellent condition with no cachet design.

Mistral

This First Day Cover features two Australian 45-cent stamps from the 'Threatened Species' series, depicting a Squirrel Glider and a Rufous Hare-wallaby in their natural habitats. The stamps are cancelled with a pictorial postmark from the World Columbian Stamp Expo in Chicago, dated May 22-31, 1992. The cover is plain with no cachet artwork, and the condition appears to be very fine.

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