William F. Buckley Jr. Stamps

Product Description

Honor one of the most influential public intellectuals in modern U.S. history with the Wiliam F. Buckley, Jr. ForeverR

stamp from the U.S.Postal Service. A leading voice in the conservative movement of the mid-2oth century, Buckley played

a defining role in shaping American political thought.

The stamp design features a black-and-white portrait of Buckley created by artist Dale Stephanos. Using graphite and

charcoal on hot-press watercolor paper, Stephanos created the artwork by hand before refining the details digitally. He

based the portrait on a photograph taken by Steve Schapiro in the 1960s. Art director Greg Breeding designed the stamp.

The William F. Buckley, Jr. stamp is being issued as a ForeverR stamp. This Forever stamp will always be equal in value

to the current First-Class Mail® one-ounce price.
