Issued in sheets of 50 stamps printed by the rotary process with electric-eye perforations.
This stamp was issued in honor of Clara Barton, the founder of the American Red Cross.
The stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally, printed by the rotary process, in red, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 50 subjects.
The design depicts a portrait of Clara Barton in an oval, ornamented by laurel leaves, with the name just below in white Roman. To the right of the portrait is a Red Cross symbol with the dark Roman wording "Founder of the American Red Cross" in two lines. The denomination "3¢" in the same style appears just to the right. The upper border is formed by a shaded panel bearing the wording "United States Postage," in white Roman.
This stamp was first placed on sale at Oxford, Mass., the birthplace of Clara Barton, on September 7, 1948.
