Liberty, from a photograph and drawing of Statue of Liberty with view of New York Harbor in the background. The central design is partly inclosed in a spread horseshoe panel supported at the base by acanthus scrolls. Within the panel and above the design appear the words "United States postage" in white Roman letters. On a ribbon below the design is the word "Liberty" and under this, at the bottom of the stamp, in a white-edged panel, appears the word "Cents." In both lower corners, within circles with dark backgrounds, is the white numeral "15." The entire stamp is inclosed within a single white-line border, with small panels supported by acanthus scrolls in both upper corners, and is printed in dark-gray ink and was placed on sale at Washington, D.C., November 11, 1922.
This series of postage stamps was issued to replace the regular issue of stamps, known as the "Series of 1912."
There are 21 denominations in this series, each having a different subject as the central design and with larger numerals denoting the denominations.
The designs are most artistic and were selected with the view of giving historical and educational interest to the stamps.
Three different border designs were used for this series of stamps, which are the same size, 75/100 by 87/100 inch, as the 1912 issue.
The border design for the first 13 denominations (1-cent to 14-cent) is identical. A different border design was used for the 15-cent denomination and still another border design for the remaining seven denominations (20-cent, 25-cent, 30-cent, 50-cent, $1, $2, and $5).
