It is actually a series of five jagged cliff ledges on the Cannon Mountain in the White Mountains.
The stamp was issued in 1955 for the 150th anniversary of the discovery (by white people) of the face.

I will visit your blogs, but I may not be able to leave a comment.
I have come across, indeed have, other stamps showing stone structures that have since collapsed. It could make a niche, if challenging, stamp collection.

I didn't know it was five different formations which looked like a face from the profile view. I remember the news when it collapsed. A big tourism loss.
