This legendary California commercial artist headed the Muirson Label Company for a half century; he created the original artwork for the 1988 U.S. "Carreta 1770s" stamp. Signed pseudo-First Day Cover, 5½" X 3½", n.p., 1988 August 30. Near fine. Not actually a postally cancelled First Day Cover, but a special cover created by the artist himself and hand labeled "First Day of Issue Aug. 30 88." Two 7.6-cent "Carreta1770s" stamps at upper right. At left are two small line drawings of carretas, printed in brown ink, and the verso is filled with a line drawing captioned "Circa 1800-1850 Californios Rode in Carretas, / Crude, Wooden Two-Wheeled Carts Drawn by Oxen," also printed in brown ink. Above this drawing, the artist pens, "Paul -- Used this scene on a cachet. / RR." (Rambo pens the two "R"s back to back, the second one in reverse, so the result looks like a cattle brand.) On the front side, in the address portion at right, Rambo addresses this to Paul Johnston (though it was neither mailed nor postally cancelled), and in the message portion at left he writes, "Paul / Drew this up just / for the celebration. / Ralph Rambo / RR / Used the scene on / reverse on a cachet." A most unusual non-First Day Cover -- though hand labeled "First Day Cover" by the stamp's artist!
