Here are the promised scans. They are scanned in 200 dpi, opened directly in PSP, cropped and adjusted to size, corrected for brightness/contrast, sharpened, and then compressed to level 30. Please see below the images for further explanation.

I like particularly the Arbore-card, which is a true maximum card according to FIP-regulations. The stamp shows exactly the same picture as on the card. The cancellation itself is a bit blurred, so I cannot make that better.

United States 1998. "Breakfast in Bed" (from the sheet Four Centuries of American Art).

Below is the text printed on the reverse side of the sheet.

Living and working alone much of her life as an expatriate in France, Mary Cassatt (1845-1926) became known for her tender images of women and children. Breakfast in Bed , 1887, captures both emotional and psychological intimacy. Cassat was the only American to be formally accepted into French Impressionist Circles.

You can find a full description in Meinel under Vereinte Nationen (UNO Genf, No. 16).
