Printed on the Giori presses in rhodamine red and green on white paper and issued in panes of 50.
This stamp, the fifth of the "American Credo" series, features the quotation "Those who Deny freedom to others Deserve it not for Themselves," which was taken from a letter Lincoln wrote to H. L. Pierce of Boston in 1859.
The 4-cent Lincoln stamp is in the basic "Credo" design, which conforms in style and type to our Colonial currency. The symbolic device to the left of the text and signature is a seated figure of Freedom, holding an olive branch.
This stamp, measuring 0.84 by 1.44 inches, was printed on the Giori presses in Rhodamine red (frame and statement) and green (signature and device) on white paper, and issued in panes of 50.
