SUPREME COURT: 1949-1953
All nine members of the Vinson Court signed this 13x10 official photo.
Photograph signed: "Fred M. Vinson, Jr." as Chief Justice and "Hugo L. Black", "Stanley
Reed", "Felix Frankfurter", "William O. Douglas", "Robert H. Jackson", "Harold H.
Burton", "Tom C. Clark" and "Sherman Minton" as Associate Justices. B/w, 13x10.
Although every member of this Court was appointed by Democratic Presidents
Roosevelt and Truman, intense personal animosities - especially involving Black,
Frankfurter, Douglas and Jackson - disrupted the Court's harmony. FDR appointed
Black (1937-1971), Reed (1938-1957), Frankfurter (1939-1962), Douglas (1939-1975) and
Jackson (1941-1954). Truman appointed Burton (1945-1958), Clark (1949-1967) and
Minton (1949-1956). Jackson and Black both expected to be elevated to Chief Justice
in 1946 after the death of Harlan Fiske Stone, but the intense lobbying by their
respective supporters prompted Truman to nominate Vinson instead. Vinson's death in
1953 was historically significant, since the Chief Justice had seemed ready to oppose what
proved to be a unanimous school desegregation decision in Brown vs Board of Education
(1954). Soiled at 2 signatures. Overall, fine condition. Wearing at corners of frame. Framed to
an overall size of 39x22.
