Evelyn Bryan's "fruity" interpretation of the classic "Spirit of '76" painting, originally titled Yankee Doodle, which was originally painted by Archibald M. Willard, of Cleveland Ohio for exhibit in Philadelphia during the 1876 centennial celebrations.  Beautiful composition utilizing the Yankee Doodle se-tenant set Scott 1629-1631. Motto "The Spirit of '76 in Pearland" at bottom.  SOPEX External Station and America The Beautiful hand-inked cancel.  Only a few left!
