This cinderella stamp was issued with seven others as part of a miniature sheet fraudulently attributed to the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The stamp is dated 2003, denominated "120 CF" (the abbreviation should be FC for francs congolais), and has "République Démocratique / du Congo" at the bottom.

An account of the resource
Overseas Mailer reissued other first day covers with a modification. In the case of the Dante FDC, Overseas Mailer added a small, green, woodcut-style portrait of Dante to the <a href="http://www.danteonstamps.com/ds/items/show/58" target="_blank">Chickering-Jackson FDC</a>. The Chickering-Jackson first day cover was designed by Charles R. Chickering and issued by Gladys Jackson's Jackson Cover Service (New York, New York). Chickering retired from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in 1962 after a fifteen-year career there as a stamp designer. He designed first day cover cachets for Jackson from 1963 until his death in 1970.<br /><br />Chickering's cachet features a reversed detail from Eugène Delacroix's first major painting, <em>Dante et Virgile aux enfers</em> (known in English as <em>The Barque of Dante</em> or <em>Dante and Virgil in Hell</em>). Above this detail is a depiction of the storm of lustful sinners from <em>Inferno</em> 5. Text from the top of the cachet down reads: "Dante Alighieri / Poet · Philosopher / of the Middle / Ages"; "Dante and / Virgil in / Hell"; "Born in / Florence 1265"; and "First Day of Issue" beside which are the names Jackson and Chickering.
