Frank Murphy autographed official United States Supreme Court card, featuring the engraved letterhead "Supreme Court of the United States, Washington, D.C."

Murphy has personally signed "Frank Murphy" in ink across the center of the card.

An attractive example of Murphy's autograph on official Supreme Court stationery, dating from his tenure as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court during the 1940s.

Appointed to the Supreme Court by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1940, Murphy became known for his strong defense of civil liberties, individual rights, and racial equality. He is particularly remembered for his dissent in Korematsu v. United States (1944), in which he condemned the government's forced exclusion of Japanese Americans during World War II as unconstitutional racial discrimination.

Before joining the Supreme Court, Murphy enjoyed a distinguished political career, serving as Mayor of Detroit, Governor of Michigan, Governor-General of the Philippines, and Attorney General of the United States.

The card measures approximately 4.25 x 3.25 inches. Fine condition with light age toning, scattered spotting, and minor handling wear.
