Printed by the rotary process in green, electric-eye perforated, arranged horizontally in a double outline border.
This stamp was issued in commemoration of 50 years of Federal cooperation with the West in developing the resources of the rivers and streams in that area.
The stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally in a double outline border, printed by the rotary process in green, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 50.
The central design of the stamp is a view of Grand Coulee Dam, showing the spillway. At the left is shown an irrigation farmer at work, and at the right appears a power transmission line and towers, typifying the two principal benefits of this project. The wording "U.S. Postage" is shown at the top center of the design with the denomination "3¢" in each upper corner, in white face Roman. The title "Grand Coulee Dam", in white face Gothic appears in the lower part of the central design, and in a ribbon, which frames the bottom of the central design, is the wording "1902 Reclamation 1952", in dark modified Roman. The words "Irrigation" and "Power" appear in the lower left and right corners, respectively, in white face Gothic.
This stamp was first placed on sale at Grand Coulee, Wash., on May 15, 1952.
