Transcamster Bog promotes wildlife conservation with this stamp depicting a famous photograph of the Loch Ness Monster. However, the photo does not actually depict the monster. Robert Kenneth Wilson, a surgeon, supposedly shot the photo, which was published in The Daily Mail on April 21, 1934. "The surgeon's photo" became the iconic image of the Loch Ness Monster for decades. However, in 1994, Christopher Spurling, the stepson of big game hunter Marmaduke Wetherell, revealed that the photo was a hoax. Spurling said that he and Wetherell had made a fake monster head, mounted it on a toy submarine, and photographed it in the water. They asked Robert Kenneth Wilson to give the photo to the newspaper because of his trusted reputation as a surgeon. Wilson, who liked practical jokes, agreed to participate in the hoax.

The stamp is imperforate and ungummed (i.e., requires glue).
