This is an official ArtCraft first day cover for the 1978 13¢ The American Indian commemorative stamp, postmarked in Kansas City, Missouri on January 11, 1978. The cover features a block of four stamps with the "First Day of Issue" cancel.
The stamp honors the heritage and contributions of Native Americans in the United States. Issued during a period of growing public interest in indigenous history and culture, it reflects the nation's recognition of the American Indian's enduring legacy.
The striking black-and-white cachet reproduces Cyrus Dallin's famous sculpture "The Appeal to the Great Spirit," showing a Native American rider on horseback with arms outstretched in supplication. The ArtCraft branding and title appear at lower left.
A fine addition for collectors of ArtCraft cachets, Native American topicals, or 1970s U.S. commemoratives, this cover displays fresh color and a clear first-day cancel.
