ben Franklin
George Washington appears on the 2nd postage stamp issued in the US in 1847. Ben Franklin was on the first.
The most commonly used stamp in the US pictured Washington when the rate was 5 cents and when the rate went to 6 cents, a stamp picturing Franklin Roosevelt was the stamp most often used.
Eleanore Roosevelt
He was President of the United States. All Presidents get a pictured on postage stamps after their deaths.
Franklin D. Roosevelt collected postage stamps. His collection was very large and he continued it even while president. After his death, the collection was broken up and sold. Many of his covers were sold in batches of ten. I even acquired a set of ten.
She is not currently featured on any US postage stamps, as no stamps can feature living persons.
The laws regarding this vary from country to country. In general, it is legal to paint a picture of a postage stamp. Typically it must vary significantly in size from the original.
