This ArtCraft First Day Cover features the 1978 Wildlife Conservation issue with two 15¢ stamps depicting the Barred Owl and Great Horned Owl. The cover is postmarked on the official first day of issue, August 26, 1978, in Fairbanks, Alaska.
The stamps highlight ongoing U.S. efforts in the 1970s to promote wildlife protection and habitat conservation, reflecting growing public awareness of endangered species and ecological balance during that era.
The striking black-and-white cachet illustrations show both owl species in flight and perched, accompanied by the slogan “Protect Our Wildlife” and the ArtCraft imprint, making it a visually appealing example of classic cachet artistry.
A fine addition for collectors of bird topicals, wildlife conservation issues, or ArtCraft FDCs, this cover remains in excellent condition with clear postmarks and vibrant stamp colors.
