UN FIRST DAY COVER : THE ART OF HUMAN RIGHTS (1983)


 

Released on December 9, 1983, in Vienna, Austria, this First Day Cover is a vibrant collision of high art and Cold War diplomacy. Commemorating the 35th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, it features a stunning lithograph by Austrian visionary Friedensreich Hundertwasser. His "Third Skin" artwork transforms the envelope into a manifesto for creative freedom. 

Beyond the art, the cover bears the rare dual signatures of U.S. President Ronald Reagan and UN General Assembly President Jorge Illueca. Produced by WFUNA for a VIP audience, this artifact remains a premier "triple threat" for collectors of fine art and global history.
