Electric-eye perforated, printed by the rotary process in blue, and issued in sheets of 50.
The "Atoms for Peace" commemorative stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally, electric-eye perforated, printed by the rotary process in blue, and issued in sheets of 50.
The central design of the stamp is composed of two spheres showing each side of the atlas encircled with the orbital emblem which has become symbolic of atomic energy. The words "Atoms for Peace" in white face modified Gothic are displayed across the two spheres. Placed in three sides of the stamp frame is the following quotation taken from the speech of President Eisenhower before the General Assembly of the United Nations on December 8, 1953: "...to find the way by which the inventiveness of man shall be consecrated to his life," and at the bottom "3¢ United States Postage 3¢," all in dark-face Gothic.
This stamp was first placed on sale at Washington, D.C., on July 28, 1955.
