Jonas Juozas Burba (February 1, 1907 – April 26, 1952) was an artist born in Skuodas, Lithuania. His notable works include Lithuanian postage stamps, the interwar design of the Order of Vytautas the Great[1] and the Order of the Lithuanian Grand Duke Gediminas.[2] During the Soviet occupation of Lithuania, Burba was deported to Siberia in 1941 as part of a mass targeting of artists by the Soviets.[3]
