Item Description
The Atlantic Footballfish (_Himantolophus groenlandicus_), also known as the Man-Gobbler, and Arctic Anglerfish is most commonly called the Sea Devil by Greenlandic fishermen who encounter it! Found in the dark and frigid depths off the shores of Greenland, it's not hard to see that this is one of nature's least attractive species!Greenalnd pictured this less-than-handsome devil on a 15.50 Kronur stamp in 2009 that was part of a 3-stamp set of science themes.
This handcolored cachet depicts Greenland's national animal - the Polar Bear - descending to the Sea Devil's home, startled to see that he is waving the Greenlandic flag! This cover received two nice clear strikes of the official First Day of Issue postmark of October 19, 2009.
The reverse bears the Puffin Cachets logo and shows that this is cover #7 of only 12 sent to Greenland for servicing.
Here's a rare catch for your collection!
