Item Description

Grade: Ungraded
Fantastic Doris Gold Cachet from original artwork for the 20c Official stamp. Hand-Cancelled in Washington DC on January 12,1983. 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 O135. Clean, unaddressed.If you are ordering multiple lots, please wait for an invoice so I can combine shipping.See my other listings for other cachet for this issue or cachetmaker. Thank you for bidding.
