    These stamps were issued in commemoration of the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the Smithsonian Institution. The stamp is 84/100 by 1 44/100 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally, printed in a maroon color by the rotary process, and issued in sheets of 50. The central design is a reproduction of the Smithsonian Institution enclosed in a single-line border, with the words "For the Increase and Diffusion of Knowledge Among Men" in two lines of dark Gothic lettering above. Directly beneath the central subject in white Gothic appears the inscription "1846-Smithsonian Institution­ 1946." The denomination designation "3¢" is shown in the lower left corner and the words "United States Postage" in white Gothic lettering, extend across the bottom, centered slightly to the right. The stamp was first placed on sale August 10, 1946, at Washington, D.C.
