USPS on 1 August 1984 issued a First Day Cover of a 20-cent Herman Melville commemorative stamp, which was part of the U.S. Postal Service's Literary Arts Series, printed in sage green and designed by Bradbury Thompson. Postmark cancellation for FDC originated from New Bedford, Massachusetts—a historic whaling port closely tied to the setting and inspiration for "Moby Dick." ArtCraft.produced the cachet, featuring an artistic illustration of Herman Melville and a breaching whale with a copy of Moby-Dick.
