cover from the USA

On Tuesday I got not only five postcards but also two covers including one from the USA.

Three stamps were used on the cover. The stamp in the middle shows Paul Laurence Dunbar (issued 01-05-1975). Dunbar was one of the first African-American writers to establish an international reputation. For example he wrote the lyrics for the musical comedy In Dahomey, the first all-African-American musical produced on Broadway in New York in 1903. The right stamp honours Ruth Aiko Asawa (issued 13-08-2020), an American sculptor best known for her wire sculptures.

Inside was a postcard of the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. The Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center is a branch of the National Air and Space Museum and shows exhibits that were formerly stored away including the Space Shuttle Discovery. It opened in 2003. 

A used version of one of the four postcard stamps about coral reefs (issued 29-03-2019) was added to the card.


 Thank You very much Brandon!
