Postage Stamp
Porter featured on a 2006 U.S. commemorative postage stamp.
From the United States Postal Services official press release:
"Award-winning stamp artist Michael J. Deas of Brooklyn Heights, NY, based his painting of Porter on a 1936 photograph made by George Platt Lynes. By including a ship in the design, Deas links Porter’s portrait to the sea voyage that inspired her best-selling novel Ship of Fools and to her assessment of life, which she called, 'this brave voyage.'
The stamp is 22nd in the Literary Arts series, which also includes Robert Penn Warren (2005), Zora Neale Hurston (2003), Ayn Rand (1999) and Stephen Vincent Benét (1998)."
