This 1978 Artmaster First Day Cover features the 15¢ George M. Cohan stamp from the Performing Arts and Artists series, postmarked on the official first day of issue in Providence, Rhode Island, on July 3, 1978.
George M. Cohan was one of America’s most beloved entertainers of the early 20th century, celebrated as a composer, playwright, actor, and producer. His iconic songs such as “Yankee Doodle Dandy” and “Give My Regards to Broadway” captured the spirit of American patriotism and vaudeville theater during a transformative era in U.S. popular culture.
The striking black-and-white cachet illustrates Cohan in multiple iconic poses, including references to the 1942 film Yankee Doodle Dandy, with bold typography highlighting the Performing Arts series theme.
A fine addition for collectors of performing arts topicals, Artmaster cachets, or 1970s U.S. commemoratives, this cover displays clean strikes and attractive period artwork.
