DescriptionWhen President Franklin D. Roosevelt saw the Bureau of Engraving and Printing's model for the Susan B. Anthony stamp, he sketched a revision and added a dark oval frame around the portrait of the women’s rights activist. A marble bust by sculptor Adelaide Johnson had served as inspiration for the Susan B. Anthony stamp. Johnson, Anthony’s close friend, modeled the sculpture from life. Because the stamp was issued in an election year and honored the sixteenth anniversary of women’s right to vote, critics claimed it was politically motivated.
