This special stamp was issued in honor of Moina Michael, founder of the Memorial Poppy.
The stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally with a single-outline frame, printed by the rotary process, in red, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 50 subjects. On the right of the stamp is a portrait of Moina Michael on a dark background. To the left is a poppy plant, across which is the lettering "U. S. Postage Founder of Memorial Poppy" arranged in three lines. In the lower left corner appears the denomination "3¢," and directly beneath the portrait is the name "Moina Michael." All lettering is white face Gothic.
