This cover features a blue cachet printed by the United Nations Postal Administration for the World Columbian Stamp Expo held May 22-31, 1992 in Chicago, Illinois. The cachet artwork depicts the Chicago skyline including the distinctive Sears Tower (Willis Tower) along a waterfront, rendered in blue ink. The United Nations logo (globe with laurel wreath) is incorporated into the design. No stamp is affixed; the cover bears a pictorial show cancel/cancel impression rather than a traditional postmark, and the envelope is otherwise blank and uncirculated.

Mistral

This First Day Cover features a blue cachet with the iconic Chicago skyline, including the Sears Tower, along the waterfront. The United Nations logo (globe and laurel wreath) is integrated into the design. The cover bears a pictorial postmark but no postage stamp is affixed. The condition appears to be pristine with no visible damage.

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