This cover features a hand-drawn cachet portrait of Winifred S. LaRose (1917-1979), identified as an 'Adirondack Conservationist,' rendered in a line-art style within an outline of the Adirondack Park region. The stamp is the 29-cent USA tulip definitive, showing a red tulip on a yellow background. The pictorial cancellation celebrates the Adirondack Park Centennial (1892-1992) with an oval design depicting trees and the text 'A place of people and natural wonder.' The cover is unaddressed and in good condition with slight toning.
