BYRON WHITE
Black and white publicity photograph of Byron White in his judge's
robe.
Photograph signed: "ByronRwhite". B/w, 8x10¼ overall, image 5x7 (one
surface). Name imprinted at bottom of photograph. Byron R. White
(1917-2002), was the first appointment to the Supreme Court by President
Kennedy and served from 1962 until his retirement in 1993. White played
professional football for the then Pittsburgh Pirates (now the Steelers) to earn
money for law school, and was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford until World War II
broke out. He returned to the U.S. and enrolled in Yale Law School in 1940 and
also played two seasons with the Detroit Lions. At the time of his appointment,
he was the youngest member (at age 44) to serve on the Court. Difficult to
categorize and suspicious of ideology, White dissented in such
landmark cases as Miranda (source of the "Miranda warning", 1966) and
Roe v. Wade (1973). Ink notes (unknown hand) and mounting glue
remnant on verso (no show through). Fine condition.
