This Artmaster First Day Cover features the 18¢ Peter Francisco stamp issued March 25, 1975, and postmarked in Greensboro, North Carolina on the official first day of issue.
Peter Francisco, often called the "Virginia Giant," was a Portuguese-born soldier whose extraordinary strength and battlefield exploits made him a legendary figure of the American Revolution. The stamp and cachet honor his service among the many contributors to the patriot cause.
The cachet depicts Francisco at work beside a scroll listing "Contributors to the cause during the American Revolution," while the stamp reproduces a dramatic painting of him in action.
A fine addition for collectors of Artmaster cachets, Revolutionary War patriots, or U.S. bicentennial-era issues, this cover remains in clean, collectible condition with a crisp strike of the Greensboro postmark.
