This special stamp with the theme "Employ the Handicapped" was first placed on sale at New York, New York, on August 28, 1960, in conjunction with the Eighth World Congress of the International Society for the Welfare of Cripples held under the sponsorship of The President's Committee on Employment of the Physically Handicapped.
The stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged vertically, printed by the rotary process in blue, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 50.
The central design, based on an actual photograph, depicts a man confined to a wheelchair capably operating a drill press. The wording "Employ the Handicapped," the denomination "4¢" and the wording "United States Postage" are all in dark modified Roman.
