Signed Postal Cover.
The distinguished American designer and illustrator after whom a prestigious Society of Illustrators award is named once served as that organization's president; during World War Two he was a cartographer with a topographic battalion in North Africa before turning illustrator. Signed Postal Cover, 6½" X 3½", n.p., n.y. Fine. Single Hortens-designed 4-cent "Soil Conservation" stamp at upper right. Immediately below the stamp, Hortens signs tiny but nicely in blue fountain pen, adding "designer"; he signs again large and bold at lower right. NOT a First Day Cover, but a mint example of this 1959 issue, signed twice by the designer. Item #26444
