A special commemorative postal cover is depicted in the image, celebrating the 100th birth anniversary of U. W. Sumathipala. The cover features a bronze-toned bust of U. W. Sumathipala prominently displayed on the upper left side. Below it, the text "100th COMMEMORATION 1924 - 2024" is inscribed in a striking font. The event is marked as the "FIRST DAY OF ISSUE" on 22nd February 2024, in Colombo, as indicated by the circular stamp on the cover. Adjacent to the stamp, there is a small photograph of U. W. Sumathipala, along with a printed QR code and stamp value. The cover is an official release by the Philatelic Bureau of the Department of Posts in Sri Lanka, highlighting its significance. The document is held in the hand of a person, suggesting it is being showcased at an event. The background is subtly blurred, focusing attention on the commemorative details of the envelope. The lighting is warm and soft, enhancing the formal and respectful tone of the image. This special issue signifies a tribute to the contributions of U. W. Sumathipala.
