Printed by the rotary process in purple, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 50.
This special stamp was issued to commemorate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the American Bar Association.
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.
The central design of the stamp is a part of a frieze as it appears on the wall of the Supreme Court Room, which depicts four figures representing "Wisdom," "Justice," "Divine Inspiration" and "Truth." Across the top of the stamp is the wording "American Bar Association" and across the bottom "1878 · Liberty Under Law · 1953". Arranged in two lines in the upper left corner is the wording "U. S. Postage" and in both lower corners the denomination "3¢" appears. All the lettering is styled in dark architectural Roman on a shaded background.
The stamp was first offered for sale at Boston, Mass., on August 24, 1953.
