The stamps of this series are issued in sheets of 50.
The 7-cent stamp is arranged horizontally, and has for the central design a view of Great Head, a rocky promontory on the shore of Acadia National Park, Maine. At the bottom of the picture is the title "Acadia" in white Gothic letters. At each end of the stamp, in narrow upright panels with dark background bordered by paneling of lighter shade on either side and with ornamental devices at the top and bottom, is the wording "U.S. postage" at the left and "Seven cents" at the right in white Gothic, arranged vertically. Within a circular panel with white ground, bordered by several dark lines, in the upper right corner of the space reserved for the central subject, is the denomination designation "7¢" in dark color. The stamp is printed in black ink.
This special issue of ten postage stamps in denominations of 1-cent to 10-cents, inclusive, is the first series of stamps to be devoted entirely to scenic views from the national parks. The stamps were issued complimentary to the observance of 1934 as "National Parks Year."
The stamps of this series are of larger size, 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, in order to better accommodate the subject matter incorporated thereon. The stamps are issued in sheets of 50. These stamps were also placed on sale the same dates at Washington, D.C.
