GEORGE SHIRAS, JR.
Clipped signature from 1899
Signature: "George Shiras Jr,/15-3-99" as Associate Justice, 6x1¼, trimmed unevenly. A Pittsburgh lawyer appointed to the US Supreme Court by Benjamin Harrison in 1892, George Shiras, Jr. (1832-1924) served as Associate Justice until he retired in 1903. He is best remembered for two decisions: Pollock v Farmers Loan and Trust (1896), which held the federal income tax unconstitutional; and Plessy v Ferguson (1896), which declared "separate but equal" segregation constitutional. Left edge ragged from previous binding. Lightly toned. Otherwise, fine condition.
