Honor one of the most influential public intellectuals in modern U.S. history with the William F. Buckley, Jr. Forever® stamp from the U.S. Postal Service. A leading voice in the conservative movement of the mid-20th 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 Forever® stamp. This Forever stamp will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail® one-ounce price.
