Printed by the rotary process and issued in sheets of 50 subjects.
This special stamp was issued in commemoration of the Midwest Centenary.
The stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally, printed by the rotary process in purple, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 50 subjects.
The central design of the stamp depicts the Kansas City skyline of 1950 in the upper portion and the Settlement of Westport Landing of 1850 in the lower portion, each period identified by the date appearing thereon in dark Gothic numerals. Separating the two views is the inscription "Kansas City, Missouri, Centennial" in two lines of white modified Gothic. The lettering "U.S. Postage," in dark Gothic, appears in the upper right portion of the stamp, and in the same style is the denomination "3¢" in the lower right corner.
This stamp was first placed on sale at Kansas City, Mo., on June 3, 1950.
