This sleek box of 100 postcards features a mix of quotes and photographs celebrating the style, wisdom, and legacy of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The photographs, taken by award-winning photographer Elinor Carucci for The Collars of RBG: A Portrait of Justice, capture the intricacies and textures of Ginsburg's most recognizable collars worn on the Supreme Court bench, from the bejeweled golden collar worn for majority opinions to her spiky dissent collar, a piece that quietly broadcast an impending dissent before she uttered a word.
Fifty unique designs feature twenty-five of Ginsburg's favorite collars and twenty-five quotes that capture her power, wit, and determination. Each design repeats once for a total of 100 postcards.
