It was printed by rotary process.
This stamp was issued to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the admission of Idaho to the Union.
The dimensions of this stamp are 0.84 by 1.44 inches, arranged horizontally. It was printed in purple by the rotary process and issued in sheets of 50.
The central design is a reproduction of the State Capitol at Boise, which occupies the entire space in the lower half of the stamp with the dome extending close to the upper edge at the center. In the upper left corner is the wording "50th Anniversary Idaho 1890–1940," arranged in three lines. In a similar position at the right is the inscription "U. S. Postage," underneath which is the denomination designation. All lettering is in dark Gothic.
The stamp was first placed on sale at the Boise, Idaho, post office on July 3, 1940.
