-Yuri Gagarin, Cosmonaut
This month marked the 50th anniversary of the first man in space; him being Yuri Gagarin, a Soviet pilot and cosmonaut who completed one rotation of the Earth in his Vostok spacecraft on April 12,1961.
14 artists from The IUOMA (International Union of Mail Artists) Postal History Boutique group created a special mailing to mark this historic event at the suggestion of one of it's members. There are still one or two cards to come, but April isn't over yet.
Over and out, Space Cadets!
