Printed by the rotary process in sepia, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 50.
This 3-cent stamp was issued to commemorate the bicentennial anniversary of Fort Ticonderoga.
The stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally, printed by the rotary process in sepia, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 50.
The central design of the stamp incorporates a plan of Fort Ticonderoga, as established by Vauban, a figure of Ethan Allen, and artillery. The frame consists of a light background on which appears the lettering "Bicentennial" in script on the left side, "Fort Ticonderoga" in two-tone Roman across the top, "1755–1955" in script on the right side, and "United States Postage" also in two-tone Roman, across the bottom. The denomination "3¢" in white-face Roman appears in a dark square panel in each of the four corners.
This issue was first released at Fort Ticonderoga, N.Y., on September 18, 1955.
