The cachet features a black-and-white pixelated/dot-matrix style artwork depicting a wildflower plant, framed in a square border, with 'Wildflowers of America' in script below and 'TECHNICAL•FDOI•9206' in block letters. The stamp is a USA 29-cent Harlequin Lupine from the 1992 Wildflowers of America series, depicting a colorful red, orange, and purple lupine spike on a dark background. Two circular machine cancellations read 'COLUMBUS, OH / JULY 24 / 1992 / 43216'. The cover includes a printed 'FIRST DAY OF ISSUE' slug on the right side and is in excellent condition.

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