A portrait of George Eastman is the central design and dominates the stamp. Across the top of the stamp is the wording "United States Postage." Arranged in two lines to the left of the portrait is the wording "George Eastman" and in the lower left corner is the denomination "3¢." All lettering is in white-face Gothic.
