This official ArtCraft First Day Cover features the 1979 U.S. 15¢ Albert Einstein commemorative stamp, postmarked on its first day of issue in Princeton, New Jersey, on March 4, 1979. The cachet depicts Einstein with the equation E=mc² and celebrates the 100th anniversary of his birth (1879-1955).
Einstein’s theories of relativity fundamentally changed our understanding of space, time, and energy, while his work laid the theoretical groundwork for nuclear power and atomic science. The stamp’s issuance in Princeton honors the physicist’s long association with the Institute for Advanced Study, where he spent his final decades.
A notable detail is the prominent display of the mass-energy equivalence formula on the cachet, underscoring Einstein’s most famous scientific legacy. The cover is in excellent condition with a crisp strike of the Princeton postmark.
A fine addition for collectors of science-themed stamps, physics topicals, or ArtCraft cachets, this FDC captures a key figure in 20th-century history.
