[edit] Summary

http://www.usps.com/communications/newsroom/2008stamps/downloadcenter.htm

The 31st stamp in the Black Heritage series honoring African American Charles W. Chesnutt, a pioneering writer recognized today as a major innovator and singular voice among turn-of-the-century literary realists who probed the color line in American life. Stamp artist Kazuhiko Sano of Mill Valley, CA, painted Chesnutt’s portrait based on a 1908 photograph from the special collections of Fisk University’s Franklin Library.

[edit] Licensing

This image is of a United States postage stamp produced in 1978 or later. The copyright for it is owned by the United States Postal Service. It is believed that the use of postage stamps to illustrate the stamp in question (as opposed to things appearing in the stamp's design) on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Copyrights for more information. Usage that does not fall under fair use requires a license from the USPS. This includes usage of the stamp's artwork to illustrate its subject, rather than the stamp itself. To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale as described on Wikipedia:Image description page.
