The Peter Max Stamp

I have written before about how much I love these postage stamps designed by Peter Max:
"Preserve The Environment" for Expo '74, they are colorful and fabulous.
The first day of issue for these stamps was exactly forty-one years ago today, so I thought I would share a few fantastic first day covers I discovered on eBay.
Let's start with The Beatles and Abbey Road, because it's my favorite!
This one is pretty cool, too:
And I love the combination of pink and orange together, so I am rather fond of this one, as well:
I felt the need to throw in this first-day cover, which was actually for the Jimi Hendrix stamp - but they added my two faves to it, Peter Max AND the Robert Indiana Love stamp!
 Love it:

Give me some colorful Peter Max artwork any day of the week......

.....I'll take it and RUN!!

I've always loved the colors and style of Peter Max art and the stamp reminded me that I went to Expo 74 in Spokane. It was so long ago I don't have too many vivid memories but I did enjoy it. Thanks for sharing more Peter Max. I'll never get tired of it.

So, I have the same Man & Water Spokane, WA Apr. 18 1974 99210 Spamed envelope. It was my husban's who was a VP. for Classic Games, then went on to design toys for various large companies. I was just looking this envelope up because he preserved it in a plastic hard cover. Wonder if you will get this message. ha
