3-cent postage stamp featuring Joseph Pulitzer

This 3-cent postage stamp was issued by the United States Postal Service in 1947 to honor Joseph Pulitzer, the influential Hungarian-American newspaper publisher and journalist. The stamp features Pulitzer's portrait alongside his famous quote "Our Republic and its press will rise or fall together." The stamp was part of the Famous Americans series that honored notable figures in American history. Pulitzer stamps are particularly valued by philatelists who specialize in American commemorative issues from the mid-20th century. This used example with a "GRAND" postmark represents an important piece of American postal and journalistic history, appealing to collectors interested in both stamp collecting and the history of American journalism.
