The souvenir sheet is 2.7 inches wide and 3.1 inches high and has as the central subject a single stamp conforming in design and denomination to the Smoky Mountain National Park issue of 1934. The sheet was printed in green and was gummed, but not perforated. The full sheets, as well as the stamps cut therefrom, are valid for the prepayment of postage to the amount of 10 cents. The souvenir sheet bears the following inscription: "Printed by the Treasury Department, Bureau of Engraving and Printing", at the left; "Under the Authority of James A. Farley, Postmaster General", at the top; "In Compliment to the 43rd Annual Convention of the Society of Philatelic Americans", at the right; and "Asheville, N.C., Aug. 26–28, 1937," and the plate number, at the bottom.
The sheet was first placed on sale August 26, 1937, at the S.P.A. Convention Station, in the Battery Park Hotel, Asheville, N.C.
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.
