The stamps of this series are issued in sheets of 50.
The 9-cent stamp, arranged horizontally, is enclosed in a narrow double-line border and is printed in pink color. The central design depicts a scene from the Glacier National Park, showing lofty Mount Rockwell in the distance and Two Medicine Lake with bordering forest trees in the foreground. Arranged vertically at either end are ruled panels in which are inclosed other panels of lighter shade, with indented ends containing, at the left, the wording "U.S. postage," and "Glacier" at the right, all in solid Roman lettering. In the lower right corner is a small square with light background and double-line border inclosing the denomination designation "9¢" in dark color.
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.
