The Syracuse Stamp Club is proud to present our SYRAPEX 2007 cover, “Honoring Louis C. Tiffany”

This special event cover honoring Louis C. Tiffany (1819-1912) is made in the form and gives the feel of a miniature stained glass window. In fact, you can see through it to the inside of the envelope. This particular window is a copy of one Tiffany did in 1924. Tiffany and his studio were not only famous for his stained glass windows, but also for jewelry, lamps, vases, and a number of other glass items. Syracuse and Central New York have several examples of his work, including a full 1903 window in the Everson Museum in Syracuse and windows in Auburn's Willard Memorial Chapel.

For a number of years Syracuse was home to an apprentice of Louis C. Tiffany, Henry Keck, whose stained glass studio was in operation from 1913 to 1974.

The cover and cancels were designed by Syracuse Stamp Club Member Vincent Juchimek. The cachet is adapted from a Tiffany design pictured in the book, Tiffany Designs Stained Glass Coloring Book Rendered for Coloring by A.G. Smith, Dover Publications, Inc., c1991. Special thanks to Dover Publications for granting permission to use this image, as well as to the members of the Syracuse Stamp Club for their support.

Note: Due to the material of the cachet, this cover should be kept away from extreme heat, cold and strong light.

Mail orders for the covers must include a #10 self-addressed stamped envelope and should be sent to Phil Poplaski, 113 Old Liverpool Road, Liverpool, New York 13088.
