The all-text cachet gives a very brief biography of Dante as follows: Dante was born in Florence, Italy. His parents died when he was young and Brunetti Latine, a statesman, supervised his education. Many scholars think that he studied philosophy at Bologna and Padua, and theology at Paris. Since the 1800s Dante has been regarded as one of the world's greatest poets. Chaucer & Milton imitated him, Longfellow, Shelley & Hugo praised his perfect style, and his sincere poetic character. Two outstanding works are his New Life and the Divine Comedy. Dante held high political office in Florence, but a hostile political faction exiled him in 1302.

On the album's title page is the following description: "A limited edition collection of 100 philatelic covers bearing Norman Rockwell paintings, related U.S. postage stamps, and important anniversary postmarks." The cover for Rockwell's painting The Eleventh Hour was paired with the 1965 Dante commemorative stamp and was cancelled in San Francisco on July 17, 1980, fifteen years to the day after the stamp was first issued. The accompanying album text explains the link between the college students in Rockwell's painting and Dante, "one of the greatest scholars of the ages." The cachet shows Rockwell's painting with "'The Eleventh Hour'" above. Additional text appears between red and blue lines above the address area: "Dante Alighieri Stamp First Issued San Francisco, Calif., July 17, 1965".

According to online sales descriptions by Trenton Stamp and Coin, "these covers were created by hand folding US Postal Service bulletins into a standard FDC size and then applying the current issue for the cover in addition to related combination stamps. He cleverly crafted these covers into mostly one-of-a-kind cachets or productions. In the beginning, Mr. Ranto created these covers for his personal collection, but as he enjoyed the process, he did start to create extras that he would trade or sell. Each of his covers is normally signed or intialed on the reverse side, and also coded, but not in every case." For the 1982 America's Libraries commemorative stamp (Scott no. 2015), Ranto created a series of covers featuring famous authors. One of the authors chosen was Dante and Ranto used the <a href="http://www.danteonstamps.com/ds/items/show/131" target="_blank">U.S. Post Office Department poster from the 1965 Dante commemorative issue</a> to make the folded cover.
