Following the death of William Howard Taft, the Department authorized the issuance of a new 4-cent ordinary postage stamp bearing his likeness. This stamp replaced the stamp of the same denomination bearing the portrait of Martha Washington.
The central design is a portrait of the former President and late Chief Justice, with an open background. The name "Taft" appears on a ribbon scroll directly beneath the portrait. No change was made in the border design or in the color, which continued in brown.
