U5905

Bugs Bunny

80th Anniversary

From Knighty Night Bugs - 1958

Cover Announcement 

This new stamp in the Bugs series depicts the crazy rabbit in a blond wig portraying a costumed operatic diva. My individually hand painted cachet shows an actual costumed leading lady mounted on a stage prop horse. Note the details such as fur saddle, galloping pose, windswept braids, winged headpiece, and importantly, the way the hand painting allows the purple of the flowing cape to be exactly coordinated with the dominant purple color in the stamp.

In this cachet, Bugs hopes to present to the heroine a bouquet of flowers.
