On November 25, 1958, the 200th anniversary of the capture of Fort Duquesne, the [[U.S. Post Office]] issued a 4-cent Fort Duquesne bicentennial [[commemorative stamp]]. It was first released for sale at the post office in Pittsburgh. The design was reproduced from a composite drawing, using various figures taken from an etching by T.B. Smith and a painting portraying the British occupation of the site as the Fort Duquesne blockhouse burns in the background.

Colonel Washington is depicted on horseback in the center, while General Forbes, who was debilitated by intestinal disease, is shown lying on a stretcher. The stamp also depicts Colonel [[Henry Bouquet]], who was second in command to the ailing Forbes, and other figures who represent the [[Virginia militia]] and provincial army.<ref>{{cite web |title=Fort Duquesne Issue |publisher=Smithsonian National Postal Museum |access-date=June 12, 2014 |url=http://arago.si.edu/index.asp?con=1&cmd=1&tid=2032796}}</ref>
