Reference: PA12-10739

Description: Photograph of a New Zealand Post first day cover showing four stamps depicting native alpine plants. The date on the post mark on the first day envelope is 7 June 1972, but this is probably not the date when the photograph was taken. Given that the photograph was associated with a series of publications dating from 1979 to 1989, the photograph was probably taken some time in the 1980s. Quantity: 1 colour original transparency/ies.
