Harry A. Blackmun autographed First Day Cover (FDC) commemorating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Charles Evans Hughes, former Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court.

The cover features an attractive Artmaster cachet depicting Hughes alongside an illustration of the United States Supreme Court building, with the inscription "Centenary of the Birth of Charles Evans Hughes, 1862–1962."

Affixed at the upper right is a block of four 4-cent Charles Evans Hughes commemorative postage stamps, postmarked Washington, D.C., April 11, 1962, with a First Day of Issue cancellation.

Blackmun has personally signed "Harry A. Blackmun" in black ink along the lower portion of the envelope.

An attractive Supreme Court association piece connecting two notable American jurists. Hughes served as Chief Justice from 1930 to 1941, while Blackmun joined the Supreme Court in 1970 following his appointment by President Richard Nixon.

Blackmun is particularly remembered for authoring the majority opinion in the landmark Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade (1973), one of the most consequential and controversial constitutional rulings of the 20th century.

Fine condition.
