USPS 1970s-1980s Cover

USPS  cover features a variety of stamps from the 1970s and 1980s.

The two stamps on the left depict athletes from the 1976 Summer and Winter Olympic Games, held in Montreal and Innsbruck respectively. 

The two stamps at the top right commemorate the 1607 settlement of Jamestown, Virginia, by English colonists. 

The stamp on the bottom left side was issued in 1982. It portrays a kitten and a golden-colored puppy playing with a stick in the snow. The stamp was based on a painting by British artist Edgar Hunt. 

The blue stamp at the bottom center is for the Peace Corps, an organisation created during the JFK era to promote international peace and friendship.
