Arranged horizontally with a double outline frame, printed by the rotary process, electric-eye perforated.
This special 3-cent stamp was issued to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Nassau Hall, the first building of what is now Princeton University.
The stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally with a double outline frame, printed by the rotary process, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 50. This issue is printed in black on orange colored paper.
The central design, which features Nassau Hall, was reproduced from a photographic print of the Dawkins engraving of 1764. The wording "200th Anniversary of Nassau Hall 1756 1956," in dark-face Roman, is arranged in two lines across the top of the stamp, and "3¢ United States Postage 3¢," in white-face Roman, appears at the bottom of the stamp.
This issue was first released at Princeton, N.J., on September 22, 1956.
