A profile of Washington looking to the left rests upon an oblong tablet of lathework, which is scarcely separated from the rest of the stamp by a border of lighter work of the same character. The entire ground of the stamp, except touches at and near the outer corners, is of this machine design. The large Arabic figure "3" appears in the upper corners, and between them in two lines are "U.S." and "Postage". At the bottom, also in two lines of white capitals, are the words "Three" and "Cents".
