The 1-cent stamp has for its central design a view of the ship New Netherland, upon which the Walloons sailed. Above this design, in a semicircular panel, appear the words "Huguenot-Walloon Tercentenary" in white Roman letters, and above this, at the top of the stamp, in a straight line, are the words "U. S. postage." In both upper corners are ribbon scrolls bearing the years "1624" at the left and "1924" at the right. At the bottom of the stamp, in a straight line, is the word "Cent", and in both lower corners within circles with dark backgrounds is the white numeral "1." The entire stamp is inclosed within a single white-line border.
This series of postage stamps was issued to commemorate the three hundredth anniversary of the settling of Walloons in New Netherlands, now the State of New York, in 1624. The stamps were first placed on sale May 1, 1924, at Washington, D.C., and the following additional post offices: Jacksonville, Fla., Mayport, Fla., Albany, N.Y., New Rochelle, N.Y., New York, N.Y., Allentown, Pa., Lancaster, Pa., Philadelphia, Pa., Reading, Pa., and Charleston, S.C.
