Don Mangus, Covington, Kentucky

Three #6-3/4 (6-1/2" X 3-5/8") unaddressed envelopes each with one stamp. “First Day of Issue” cancellations and postmark.  Hand-painted (or airbrushed?) of a lace template on a blue background (cyanotype?).

As a Vietnam Vet, a lot of Mangus' work is related to the military. I don't know if this is the same Don Mangus who is the comic book artist. These covers are likely one-of-a-kind. He is a member of the American First Day Cover Society, and also the Art Cover Exchange.
