Description
An account of the resource
<p>Beginning in the 1960s, prolific collector and cachet maker John Ranto of Hamilton Township, New Jersey, produced first day covers made from postal bulletins and display posters. According to online sales descriptions by Trenton Stamp and Coin, "these covers were created by hand folding US Postal Service bulletins into a standard FDC size and then applying the current issue for the cover in addition to related combination stamps. He cleverly crafted these covers into mostly one-of-a-kind cachets or productions. In the beginning, Mr. Ranto created these covers for his personal collection, but as he enjoyed the process, he did start to create extras that he would trade or sell. Each of his covers is normally signed or intialed on the reverse side, and also coded, but not in every case."</p>
<p>For the 1982 America's Libraries commemorative stamp (Scott no. 2015), Ranto created a series of covers featuring famous authors. One of the authors chosen was Dante and Ranto used the <a href="http://www.danteonstamps.com/ds/items/show/131" target="_blank">U.S. Post Office Department poster from the 1965 Dante commemorative issue</a> to make the folded cover.</p>

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.
