Black Bears -- “Christmas Tree Antics”

Spring 2022 Mail Sale Commentary 

Lot 23 Y2601 — Christmas Wildlife 1996 —Black Bears "Christmas Tree Antics" (11-1-96)

A winter snow has blanketed a forest comprised of evergreens and hardwoods. In my hand painted cachet, two young black bears are out for a morning romp. One has begun to climb a tree, and his sibling stands and playfully paws the hind leg of the other. As is customary with the series, a painted border frames the light-hearted scene. Two Christmas stamps are tied to the envelope with a Richmond, Virginia day of issue bullseye postmark. See if you need this one for your collection.
