Postal Paraphernalia # 2

I don`t think too much additional comment is needed from me here. Following on from the original Postal Paraphernalia a few weeks ago, here are two more American first day covers celebrating the life and times of W E B Du Bois.

These don`t really need much comment from me. The US postal service paid tribute to Dr Du Bois in 1992 and 1998 by issuing commemorative stamps, as you`ll see from the images below. Sadly, the 1998 first day cover doesn`t reproduce too well because of the use of gold gilt, which reflects light, but I`m including it for interest`s sake.
