A 1960s black and white photo of Buckley was artist Dale Staphanos’s inspiration for the graphite and charcoal portrait used on the stamp.

Many people knew him best as the host of Firing Line, the Emmy-winning TV show he helmed for over 30 years. With guests across the political spectrum, Buckley made space for real conversations, peppered with sly humor and that famously wide vocabulary.
A devout Catholic, Buckley also wrote over 50 books, including political commentary, memoirs, and even spy novels. He played the harpsichord, loved sailing, and once ran for mayor of New York City.
The portrait on this stamp, created by Dale Stephanos, captures his intellect, but Buckley’s true legacy lies in how he made debate delightful and thought contagious. He didn’t just argue. He invited America to think.
