4-1 为“桃园三结义”。取材于《三国演义》第一回:“宴桃园豪杰三结义,斩黄巾英雄首立功”,展示的是桃园三结义的情景。东汉末年,黄巾军进攻幽州,幽州太守出榜招募义兵。刘备、张飞、关羽在投军时,因志趣相投,在桃园中结为兄弟,以刘备为兄,关羽次之,张飞为弟。画面中右为关羽,中为刘备,左为张飞。以桃花两株,象征结义的时间和地点;上有青龙装饰的太阳,表示早晨旭日东升,寓意结义的开始和军事同盟的建立。
4-2 为“三英战吕布”。丞相董卓窃国专权,曹操号令各路诸侯讨伐,刘备率众前往。董卓手下大将吕布骁勇善战,无人能敌。在虎牢关前,刘备、关羽、张飞三人齐心协力,围住吕布厮杀,吕布终于败北。画面上,四位豪杰四匹马四种兵器搅杀在一起,设计者采用俯视画法,便整个画面广阔有序。
4-3 为“凤仪亭”,展示的是大将吕布与歌伎貂蝉在凤仪亭私会的情景。司徒王允想除掉董卓设下连环之计。他先将自己年轻美貌的歌伎貂蝉许给吕布,私下里又将她献与董卓。吕布在与貂蝉私会时,被董卓撞见,两人由此结仇。不久吕布将董卓杀死。
4-4 为“煮酒论英雄”。取材于《三国演义》第二十一回,东汉献帝为除曹操,密诏刘备讨伐。刘备接诏后,为防曹操谋害,假装不问世事,以待时机。一日,曹操请刘备去喝酒,席间,曹操说:当今天下,只有你刘备与我曹操才是英雄。刘备大惊,以为计谋已为曹操识破。画面上,曹操是正面像,昂首捻须,一副狂傲之态。刘备是背影,刻画的是刘备惊慌失措的窘态。

这套邮票画面简洁,繁而不乱。在绘画手法上,以中国工笔画法为基础,又有所创新。重线条,重传神,同时揉进了夸张、写意的技法,使人物形象形神兼备,音容笑貌跃然纸上。画面均以赭黄为底色,并巧妙地运用白色、绿色突出人物形象,使画面秀丽、洒脱,既具古典韵致,又富浪漫情趣。
