Jack Elrod autographed a 1972 Canadian First Day Cover and added an original ink illustration of Mark Trail. Elrod has drawn a portrait of the famed comic-strip character at lower center and inscribed the cover, "Best from Mark Trail and Jack Elrod."

The cover bears a block of four Canadian 20-cent stamps with an Ottawa, Ontario, September 8, 1972 first-day cancellation. The cachet celebrates Canada's scenic landscape under the heading "Scenic Wonderland - From Sea to Sea."

Fine condition.
