Fantastic Doris Gold Cachet from original artwork for the 20c US - Sweden stamp, celebrating the 200th Anniversary of Treaty of Amity and Commerce. This Hand-Cancelled cover was cancelled in Philadelphia PA on March 24,1983.
A few words from Doris:
I did my first HD/HP cover in 1974. In 1976, I did some HD/HP (issue size 5 or 6) which were offered to collectors. This was done for several issues. I started the printed cover (DG) in 1977 with #1710 Lindbergh Transatlantic Flight, went to Hand Color (DGHC) with #2250 Caruso in 1987, then to Color Laser (DGX) with #2445-6 Movie Classics. Though I have used different methods of cachetmaking over the years, the HD/HP add-on has been ongoing “as time permits.”
Through the years I have run the gamut of cachet production — printed multicolor from my drawings with hand color-separations for the printer (DG); printed outline or silhouette, then hand-painted (DGHC); Color reproductions from my HD/HP artwork (DGX). All current DGX covers are done in very limited editions, and each is numbered, signed and given “Touch of Gold” — a dab of gold paint.
Scott 2036. Clean, unaddressed.
If you are ordering multiple lots, please wait for an invoice so I can combine shipping.
