Arranged vertically in a double outline frame, printed by the rotary process in blue, electric-eye perforated.
This special 3-cent stamp issued to commemorate Labor Day is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged vertically in a double outline frame, printed by the rotary process in blue, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 50.
The model of the stamp was developed from the central subject of a mural designed by Lumen M. Winter, in the AFL-CIO headquarters building in Washington, D.C., depicting a man, a woman, and a child. In the lower left corner is the inscription "Labor Is Life—Carlyle". Across the top of the stamp, in a dark frame, is the wording "Labor Day" and across the bottom "U.S. Postage." The denomination "3¢" is shown in the lower right portion of the stamp. All lettering is in white-face Gothic.
The Labor Day stamp was first sold at Camden, N.J., on September 3, 1956.
