Item description from seller

This artist was one of the U.S.'s best-known and prolific wildlife artists, his lengthy career including more than 80 USPS postage stamps, almost 1500 illustrations for Roger Tory Peterson's famed "Field Guide" volumes, almost 100 magazine covers, book illustrations for National Geographic Society and the National Audubon Society and elsewhere, and more than 550 conservation stamps for the National Wildlife Federation. Signed Commemorative Postal Cover, standard 7½" X 4" envelope, cancelled in Huntington, West Virginia on 28 October 1989 with "Chuck Ripper Day" so stamped. Fine. Single Ripper-designed 25-cent honeybee stamp (Scott #2281) at upper right and large black-and-white head-and-shoulders artist's portrait of a smiling Ripper at left. Near the center, Ripper signs boldly in black fineline. Not a First Day Cover, but delightful combination of signed portrait AND postal commemorative.
