Sunday Stamps W3 - USA Architecture & Law

In the American Architecture series issued in October 1982 'W' featured in more ways than one.


USA 
I had heard of Frank Lloyd Wright before and it was the Falling Water stamp for Mill Run PA that caught my eye. It was pure chance that another 'W' appeared in the second stamp of this pair - Walter Gropius and his Gropius House in Lincoln MA. It was Walter who said 'Architecture begins where engineering ends.'

An envelope sent to my attorney daughter (address removed) proved just right for today.



I chose it because I saw the World Peace stamps (unfranked as you can see). However the embossed envelope  refers to the White House Conference for youth in 1971 - my daughter was very young back then. Unfortunately I cannot read the franking date on the Jefferson stamp but it's in 2000s I'm sure. I wonder where the envelope had been since 1971 when 'Tricky Dickie' was President. The World Peace stamps were first issued on 29 April 1975. My daughter had passed the bar exam in 2010.
