Love Stamp

Love Stamp - 1986

In honour of Valentines day 1986 the US Postal service released it's "Love" stamp featuring a drawing of a puppy. Jim Henson, along with Rowlf, were asked to do some promotional work for this launch and the photo above shows Jim and Rowlf (in his full Postal service uniform) with a sheet of the stamps.

The collectible envelope was a first Day cover produced on the day of the stamps release and features a drawing of Rowlf alongside the stamp. It is dated New York January 30th 1986.

The Rowlf drawing was done by Guy Gilchrist, artist of The Jim Henson's Muppets Comic Strip.
