USPS Honors Conservative Icon Buckley on New Stamp

The United States Postal Service last week unveiled a new postage stamp featuring conservative icon and National Review founder William F. Buckley Jr.

Hailing him as “one of the most influential public intellectuals in modern U.S. history,” the USPS said in an announcement that Buckley “defined the conservative movement of the mid-20th century and was one of its most recognizable spokesmen.”

“Author of more than 50 books, Buckley founded National Review, one of the nation’s leading conservative publications, and hosted the Emmy Award–winning public affairs television program Firing Line for more than 30 years. Original art by Dale Stephanos features a portrait of Buckley, created by hand with graphite and charcoal on hot-press watercolor paper, then refined digitally. Greg Breeding, an art director for USPS, designed the stamp,” it added.
