About This Stamp

This stamp commemorates the 175th anniversary of the ratification of the United States Bill of Rights, the collective name of the first 10 amendments to the United State Constitution.

The stamp features a design of two hands — “freedom” checking “tyranny” — by editorial cartoonist Herbert Block, also known as Herblock.
