Arranged horizontally, printed by the rotary process, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 50 subjects.
This special stamp was issued to commemorate the first Puerto Rican gubernatorial election.
This 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 consists of a rural Puerto Rican holding a cogwheel representing industry and a ballot box representing the election of the Island's Governor. Across the top of the stamp appears the wording "First Gubernatorial Election in Puerto Rico" in white-face Gothic. Above the ballot box is "Jan. 2, 1949" and on the ballot box appears the word "Ballot," in dark Gothic lettering. Across the bottom in a shaded panel are the words "U. S. Postage" in white-face Gothic. In the lower left- and right-hand corners are the denominations "3¢" in dark-face modified Roman.
The stamp was first placed on sale at San Juan, P.R., on April 27, 1949.
