The Ashley Cachet D21 features black ink artwork depicting iconic American landmarks and symbols: the Washington Monument, Abraham Lincoln standing before a large American flag, the Golden Gate Bridge, Mount Rushmore, a bald eagle in flight, and what appears to be the Lincoln Memorial. Text arcs 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' at the top of the cachet. The stamp is a 29-cent Flag over Mount Rushmore coil stamp. The circular hand-cancel postmark reads 'AFTON, TN / MAR 25 PM 1991 / 37616'. The addressed label bears a colorful hot air balloon vignette.

This First Day Cover features a patriotic cachet design with black-and-white illustrations of iconic American landmarks, including Mount Rushmore, the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Golden Gate Bridge.
