The 2-cent stamp of the series features an image of Frank Lloyd Wright (1869–1959), one of the most influential architects of the twentieth century. His revolutionary approach to building, which emphasized the long, horizontal lines of a prairie landscape, was equal to his controversial private life.

Though he left the University of Wisconsin engineering school without a degree, he apprenticed with several prominent Chicago architects, including Louis Sullivan, before opening his studio in Oak Park, Illinois, in 1893. Over the next sixty years, Wright established himself as an architectural icon, blending air, space, and natural surroundings to create hundreds of homes and significant buildings. His most recognized masterpiece, a project that occupied him for sixteen years, was the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City. That building is depicted in the 2-cent stamp's background.

The dark blue gray 2-cent stamp was issued June 9, 1966, in Spring Green, Wisconsin, the location of Wright's Taliesin East home, It was produced as a sheet stamp printed from plates of four hundred and sold in panes of one hundred with gauge 11 x 10.5 perforations.
