Sandra Day O'Connor autographed First Day Cover (FDC) honoring legendary United States Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. The cover features an illustrated portrait of Holmes alongside an image of the Supreme Court building, with an ArtCraft cachet from the Prominent Americans Series.

Affixed at the upper right is a block of eight 15-cent Oliver Wendell Holmes commemorative postage stamps, postmarked Boston, Massachusetts, April 14, 1978, with a First Day of Issue cancellation.

O'Connor has personally signed "Sandra Day O'Connor" in black ink across the lower right portion of the envelope, above her typewritten name and designation, "First Woman Supreme Court Justice."

An attractive association piece connecting two important figures in American judicial history. Holmes served on the Supreme Court from 1902 to 1932 and remains one of the most influential jurists in American history. O'Connor made history in 1981 when President Ronald Reagan appointed her as the first woman to serve on the United States Supreme Court.

The cover was issued in 1978, with O'Connor's autograph and judicial designation added following her appointment to the Court in 1981.

Fine condition with light age toning, minor handling wear, and scattered surface marks.

Sandra Day O'Connor (1930–2023) was an American jurist who served as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court from 1981 to 2006. Appointed by President Ronald Reagan, she became the first woman to serve on the nation's highest court. Frequently regarded as a pivotal swing vote, O'Connor played an influential role in major decisions involving constitutional law, federalism, and civil rights.
