EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the portrait of Joel Chandler Harris, an influential figure in American literature and journalism, as it appeared on a 3-cent US postage stamp issued in the late 1940s. The image captures Harris in a formal, bust portrait, facing slightly left with a direct gaze that invites connection. His attire, consisting of a collared shirt, jacket, and hat, reflects the fashion of the time. A moustache adorns his upper lip, adding character to his distinguished appearance. Harris, born in 1848, is best known for his collection of Uncle Remus stories, which were inspired by African American folklore and oral traditions. These tales, featuring the character Br'er Rabbit, gained widespread popularity and have since become an integral part of American heritage. The photograph, taken for the postage stamp design, exudes a sense of historic significance. The 3-cent stamp, a common denomination during the 1940s, served as a means of communication and finance, connecting people across the country. The image of Harris, with his pen in hand, symbolizes the power of the written word and the impact it can have on generations to come. This photograph, now part of the collections at the Library of Congress, stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Joel Chandler Harris and his contributions to American literature and journalism.
