EXTREMELY FINE. A UNIQUE AND OUTSTANDING SET OF V-E DAY DOROTHY KNAPP HAND-PAINTED COVERS. ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT WORLD WAR II SETS IN EXISTENCE.

This complete set of European Overrun Nations covers logically does not include the Korea Issue (Scott 921), since V-E Day occurred three months before the defeat of Japan. These were addressed to and serviced by Butterfield. They were sent directly to Dorothy Knapp from Butterfield in order to create a one-of-a-kind set.
