Inscribed Supreme Court Card signed: "For Polly Eaves/ Oct. 19, 1939/ Wm. O. Douglas"
in black ink, 4¼x3¼. William Orville Douglas (1898-1980) served as chairman of the
Securities and Exchange Commission from 1937 to 1939, during which time President
Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed him Associate Justice of the Supreme Court to
succeed Louis D. Brandeis. Justice Douglas's service on the Court totaled 36 years
and seven months, longer than any other justice up until that point. He retired in November
1975 and died five years later at the age of 81. He was strongly libertarian in his opinions,
distrustful of establishments of all types, and considered himself a voice for the voiceless and
powerless. Card toned at edges. Otherwise, fine condition. Framed to an overall size of
20¼x15¾.
