Forever Stamps 2025 William F. Buckley Jr. – Commemorative Issue, First-Class Postage

This stamp features a striking black-and-white portrait of Buckley created by artist Dale Stephanos. Using graphite and charcoal on hot-press watercolor paper, Stephanos created the artwork by hand before refining the details digitally. He based the portrait on a photograph taken by Steve Schapiro in the 1960s.

This Forever stamp will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail® one-ounce price.
