Printed by the rotary process, in green, electric-eye perforated and issued in sheets of 50 subjects.
This special stamp was issued in honor of Juliette Gordon Low, founder and organizer of Girl Scouting in the United States.
The stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally, printed by the rotary process, in green, electric-eye perforated and issued in sheets of 50 subjects.
The central design is a portrait of Juliette Gordon Low on a shaded background with the name just below in dark Gothic on a ribbon ornamented with laurel leaves. The lower border is formed by a dark panel on which is the white Gothic wording "United States Postage." In the same style in the upper left and right corners on a shaded background are the denominations "3¢." To the left of the central design is the dark Roman lettering "Founder of the Girl Scouts of the U.S.A." and to the right is the Girl Scouts emblem.
The stamp was first placed on sale at Savannah, Ga., the birthplace of Mrs. Low, on October 29, 1948.
