The Albert Einstein Exhibition

As part of Zimbabwe Rhodesia Trade Fair in 1979, Barclays Bank held The Albert Einstein Exhibition in the Barclays Bank Pavillion. To commemorate this event, they produced a First Day Cover for the stamp release, postmarked on the first day of the trade fair.

Covers can be found with special exhibition cachets. The Albert Schweitzer Exhibition cachet was reused from the 1978 Rhodesia Trade Fair and a modified version used for Albert Einstein.
