Rotary printed, electric-eye perforated.
This stamp is printed in blue, arranged vertically, and the central design is a reproduction of the Statue of Freedom, by Crawford, which surmounts the dome of the Capitol at Washington. Below this statue is a ribbon on which appears the wording "National Capital Sesquicentennial 1800—Washington—1950" in dark Gothic. To the left of the statue near the base are the words "U.S. Postage," and to the right is the denomination "3¢" in the same style of lettering.
This stamp was first placed on sale at Washington, D.C., on April 20, 1950.
This series of four stamps was issued to commemorate the sesquicentennial anniversary of the National Capital.
The stamps are 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, 3-cent denomination, printed by the rotary process and issued in sheets of 50 subjects.
