Description: This prominent definitive postage stamp from the United States showcases a masterfully executed, monochrome dark-green portrait of George Washington. The classic line engraving depicts a three-quarter bust of the first president based on historic artwork, highlighting his powdered hair gathered in a queue ribbon and formal colonial overcoat. The central figure is backed by tightly spaced horizontal line shading. Above his left shoulder, the surname "WASHINGTON" is integrated into the background frame. The bottom left corner features a large "1¢" denomination positioned directly over the clean typography reading "U.S. POSTAGE". This used specimen bears faint horizontal black lines from a contemporary machine postmark stretching across the face.
