Mowgli & Baloo

The Jungle Book

Collins Cover Announcement 

DISNEY — IMAGINATION

THE JUNGLE BOOK

This is the third cover in the mini-set of four that I've thus far offered for the final year of Disney stamps. This time I'm pleased to present my First Day Cover for the Jungle Book stamp. Individually hand painted in vivid watercolors, this artistic salute to the creative folks at Disney Studios shows Mowgli sitting on the lap of the lovable Baloo the bear with the two inseparable friends sharing a banana. The composition complements to a perfect degree the new stamp which shows the same two characters in a lovable hugging embrace. This stamp, like the others in this year's series, has the First Day of Issue bullseye postmark from Anaheim, California.

In the years ahead and down the road of the First Day Cover hobby, future collectors will be searching for the Collins cachets that paid tribute to the Disney entertainment genius with worldwide appeal. The fun-filled escapades will always appeal to the young and young-at-heart, so make sure that you obtain these First Day Cover fantasy treasures. The Jungle Book — Collins #H4503. $13.25.
