    The stamp was issued to commemorate the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the admission of Kentucky to the Union. The stamp is 84/100 by 1 44/100 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally. It is printed in purple by the rotary process and issued in sheets of 50. The central design is a reproduction of the Gilbert White mural in the State Capitol at Frankfort, depicting Daniel Boone and three companions standing on a promontory and gazing across the Kentucky River to the land on the opposite shore where the city of Frankfort now lies. The design is enelosed in an arch, and in the upper left corner is the inscription "United States" in two lines. In a corresponding position in the upper right corner is the inscription "Postage "3c" also in two lines. Across the bottom of the stamp is the wording, "Sesquicentennial of the Statehood of Kentucky," with the dates "1792" and "1942" appearing in the lower left and right corners, respectively. Alllettering is in dark Gothic. The stamp was first placed on sale at Frankfort, Kentucky, on June I, 1942.
