Printed by the rotary process in blue, electric-eye perforated.
This special stamp was issued to commemorate the sesquicentennial anniversary of the establishment of Indiana Territory.
The stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally, printed by the rotary process in blue, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 50 subjects.
The central design is a portrait of William Henry Harrison to the left and the first Capitol building to the right. Above the building, in three lines of white Gothic, is "Indiana Territory Sesquicentennial 1800–1950". Directly below the building in the same style are the words "The First Capitol". Below the portrait in a ribbon ornamented with laurel leaves is the name of the first governor in dark Gothic. The words "United States Postage" in dark Roman appear in a single line across the lower border, with the denomination "3¢" in the same style superimposed on a stone arrowhead in the lower right corner.
The stamp was first placed on sale at Vincennes, Ind., on July 4, 1950.
