Printed by the rotary process in purple, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 50 subjects.
This stamp was issued to commemorate the one-hundredth anniversary of the settlement of Utah.
The stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally, printed by the rotary process in purple, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 50 subjects.
The central design is an original drawing depicting the first settlers entering the valley of Great Salt Lake. Across the top in dark Gothic is the wording "United States Postage," and in the upper right corner is the denomination "3¢." In the left central portion of the stamp is the lettering "This is the Place," a statement attributed to Brigham Young who led the pioneers on their journey to Utah. On a ribbon across the bottom appears "1847 The Utah Centennial 1947" in dark modified Roman.
This stamp was first placed on sale at Salt Lake City, Utah, on July 24, 1947.
