Printed by the rotary process in a deep red, electric-eye perforated.
This special stamp commemorates the opening of the Brussels Universal and International Exhibition at Brussels, Belgium.
The stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally, printed by the rotary process in a deep red, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 50.
The stamp has as its central subject an aerial view of the United States Pavilion, a large two-story circular building of shimmering amber-tinted steel columns and honeycomb plastic walls, situated on a landscaped triangular site of 6½ acres. In the upper left portion of the stamp is the wording "United States Pavilion" arranged in two lines, and in the lower right is "U. S. Postage 3¢," all in white-face Gothic. The wording "Brussels Universal and International Exhibition—1958" appears at the left of the stamp, reading upwards and across the top, in dark-face Gothic.
This stamp was first offered for sale at Detroit, Mich., on April 17, 1958.
