Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States

In 2009, the U.S. Postal Service issued Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, a pane of four stamps honoring the contributions of Associate Justices Joseph Story, Louis D. Brandeis, Felix Frankfurter, and William J. Brennan, Jr.

Joseph Story

Max Rosenthal created the etching of Story in 1890.  It is from the collection at the Library of Congress.

Louis D. Brandeis

The stamp features a portrait photograph of Brandeis taken by Underwood & Underwood circa 1910.

Felix Frankfurter

Sylvia Sami took the undated portrait photograph that appears on the stamp.

William J. Brennan, Jr.

The photograph that appears on the stamp is the official portrait of Brennan taken in 1972 by Robert S. Oakes.

The background of the stamp is a collage of Supreme Court-related images:

Bill Ross took the photograph of the Supreme Court building in 1935.

The detail of the first page of the U.S. Constitution, including the familiar words “We the People,” comes from the collection at the National Archives and Records Administration.

The official Supreme Court seal is from The Collection of the Supreme Court of the United States.
