The stamps are rendered in rich earth tones of brown, green, and gold with a gold border. The plate block includes margin tabs with plate numbers in multiple colors: 29275 (yellow), 29333 (black), 29276 (pink/red), 29280 (black), 29277 (blue), and 29278 (black). No cachet artwork or postmark is visible in this image, suggesting this may be a stamp-only submission without a cover or envelope.
Mistral
This First Day Cover features a plate block of four 5-cent stamps depicting 'The Biglin Brothers Racing' by Thomas Eakins. The stamps showcase a single rower in a racing shell with rich earth tones of brown, green, and gold, and a decorative gold border. The plate block includes margin tabs with six colored plate numbers. The envelope lacks a visible cachet or additional artwork beyond the stamps. Condition appears to be very fine, with clear stamp details and intact perforations.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
