Felix Frankfurter Signed Photograph
Item Details
Description
Vintage matte-finish 10 x 13.5 Hessler Supreme Court portrait of Frankfurter, signed and inscribed in the lower border in fountain pen, "To my esteemed Brother Harlan F. Stone, with happy remembrances and with high hopes of many years of common labors and keen enjoyment of wines and cheese and other evidences of the arts of man. Felix Frankfurter 3 June 1939." The photo is also signed by the studio. In very fine condition.



In 1939, Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Frankfurter as a Supreme Court justice. Frankfurter took a strong stand on individual civil rights, leading some to label him as an 'extreme liberal,' however, he upset many radicals by refusing to protect socialists and communists blacklisted during the onslaught of McCarthyism. His 'brother'—Harlan F. Stone—served on the High Court for 20 years and also defended civil liberties and individual rights against a conservative court majority.
