This 1975 International Women's Year First Day Cover features a block of four 10¢ U.S. stamps cancelled on the official first day of issue, August 26, 1975, in Geneva, New York. The Art Craft cachet depicts a graceful female figure before a stylized globe, celebrating the United Nations-declared International Women's Year.
Proclaimed by the UN General Assembly, 1975 marked the first International Women's Year, highlighting global efforts toward gender equality, women's rights, and development. The stamp's design integrates the female symbol with a peace dove, reflecting the year's themes of equality, development, and peace.
A notable detail is the clean Art Craft cachet artwork paired with the se-tenant block of four stamps, each showing the distinctive orange-and-blue dove-and-symbol motif. The Geneva, NY postmark ties the cover to the official first-day city chosen for this issue.
Collectors will appreciate the fresh condition, sharp cancel, and attractive topical design, making this an appealing addition for FDC, women's history, or United Nations-themed collections.
