A classic United States 4¢ commemorative issued in 1967 as part of the “Historic Statehood” series, celebrating Louisiana’s rich Mississippi River heritage. The design features a detailed 19th-century paddle-wheel steamboat beneath sweeping Spanish-moss-draped branches—an iconic symbol of Southern river culture. The bold red “LOUISIANA” inscription and finely engraved river scene make this a visually striking issue prized by Americana and transportation-themed collectors. A popular mid-20th-century U.S. commemorative noted for its strong engraving quality and period charm.
