USA - Patriotic Poster Stamp - Council Against Intolerance 1945 FDR

Description: [zipedit] USA Patriotic Propaganda / Fundraising Stamp The Council Against Intolerance, a New York group active from the late 1930s through the mid-1950s, was founded by left-leaning Jewish author James Waterman Wise. Wise is notable for having warned of the dangers of Nazism in several books as early as 1933. Their headquarters were at 17 East 42nd Street in New York City. They published many materials promoting diversity, including fundraising / propaganda poster stamps. From 1939 to 1944 the stamps had the full name "Council Against Intolerance in America" on them, but beginning in 1945 the name was shortened to "Council Against Intolerance". This stamp is from the 1945-46 campaign, with a portrait of US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, (1882 - 1945). This stamp was designed by notable graphic artist Lucian Bernhard.From Wikipedia: Lucian Bernhard (March 15, 1883 - May 29, 1972) was a German graphic designer, type designer, professor, interior designer, and artist during the first half of the twentieth century. He was born in Stuttgart, Germany, on March 15, 1883, as Emil Kahn to a Jewish family, but changed his name to his more commonly known pseudonym in 1905. His first name is often spelled Lucien. Though he studied briefly at the Akademie in Munich, he was largely self-taught. He moved to Berlin in 1901 where he worked as a poster designer and art director for magazines. In 1920, he became a professor at the Akademie der Künste until 1923, when he emigrated to New York City. In 1928, he opened the Contempora Studio with Rockwell Kent, Paul Poiret, Bruno Paul, and Erich Mendelsohn where he worked as a graphic artist and interior designer. After 1930, he worked primarily as a painter and sculptor until his death on May 29, 1972. This stamp is a VF, OG, NH single. It is listed in "Mosbaugh's U.S. All Funds Seal Catalog" in Section 1 - "Patriotic and Veterans Seals", as #300.07, and is also listed in Charles Kiddle's "Poster Stamps - The 'Top Twenty' Graphic Artists" as #BE1.120 (rarity 20).

After 35+ years I decided to retire from being an active Cinderella Stamp dealer. Most of my working inventory plus backup stock was sold at public auction. However, I have retained some material that I will be offering for sale. In addition, I have some "new" material that was mixed into lots I have bought for my own collections. I will be listing some of the material in my eBay store at fixed prices. I will also be offering some material at auction, either as single items or mixed lots. There will be many bargains available. There will be large and small lots, some containing similar material, some containing a random mixture, and some containing only one or a few items. The condition will be mixed, but none of the lots will be just accumulations of damaged or faulty stamps (unless specifically listed as such). Items in stockpage or larger lots may be removed and repackaged into glassines to save on shipping costs. A Note about Poster Stamps and Gum: Because many poster stamp collectors are primarily interested in the image on the stamp, the absence or presence of gum on the back is of little concern. If no mention of gum is made, then there may or may not be gum present. If you are only interested in poster stamps with original gum, please inquire before bidding. Actual condition issues (that are not apparent from the scan) WILL be described. * A Note about "Stock Images": Occasionally I will have more than one example of an item in inventory. Rather than scan each one individually, I may use the same image for multiple examples of the item. If that is the case, the item supplied will be in substantially the same, or better, condition than the image. Any such items will have the words: "STOCK IMAGE" at the end of the description.
