[edit] Elizabeth Blackwell 18-cent Stamp
The Syracuse University Medical Alumnae Association commissioned my father (Joseph S. Kozlowski; 1912-1991) to paint a portrait of Elizabeth Blackewell in the mid-1960s. The portrait hung for some time in the lobby of the Upstate Medical Center in Syracuse. Subsequent to presentation of the portrait to the Med Center the USPS released the 18-cent Blackwell stamp. When we saw the stamp we were appalled. The broach at Blackwell’s neck was precisely the same as the broach in the painting by my father. The broach appeared nowhere in my father's research for the painting; it was an invention specifically for the portrait.
Starting in mid-March 1974 there was an exchange of correspondence between myself and James Hanley - then a Congressman from the State of New York and Chairman of the Committee on Post Office and Civil Service. Mr. Hanley contacted the Post Master General at the time, Mr. Ted Klassen. Following some investigation on Mr. Klassen's part I received a letter which reads in part: "The artwork used for this stamp consisted of a photograph. However, we now have determined that this photograph depicts the Elizabeth Blackwell portrait painted by Joseph Kazlowski (sic). ..."
It's my understanding that the rules for attribution for artwork destined for postage stamps were changed and strengthened at the USPS as a result of the incident. I suspect the plagiarism was, in this case, inadvertant.
Just a interesting footnote to history. I’m not sure that it has a place in an article about Elizabeth Blackwell.

[edit] Help On Elizabeth Blackwell
WikiWiz I have been doing a report on Elizabeth Blackwell. I just need to find out something. Think you can help? Thank you. I need to know what she did after she graduated from medical college. Thank you! Post down here:
Q: What did Elizabeth Blackwell do after graduating from medical college?
A:
Not the same Elizabeth Blackwell as the 18th-centruy herbal at http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/ttp/ttpbooks.html
What was Elizabeth Blackwell's religious affiliations and/or background?
[edit] Birthplace
The History Channel list her birthplace as Hastings, not Bristol as stated in the article. Can anybody produce a robust source of this information? Without one, I'm inclined to change the article to show Hastings as her birthplace. Waggers 12:54, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
