The central design is a portrait of Alfred E. Smith with the dates, "1873," and "1944," appearing to the left center in two lines printed in dark Gothic. In white-face Gothic across the top of the stamp appears the name, "Alfred E. Smith," and in horizontal arrangement across the bottom the lettering, "U.S. Postage 3¢," in white modified architectural Roman.
