In a horizontal panel with dark ground at the top of the stamp is the inscription "U. S. Postage" in white Roman. In a similar panel, at the lower edge of the stamp in white Roman lettering, are the words "Three" at the left and "Cents" at the right, separated by a large circular panel with dark ground containing the numeral "3" in white. In the space between the lower panel and the central design are the words "1890" at the left and "1940" at the right in large white numerals.
