Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the captivating story behind the creation of Canada's first postage stamps in 1851. The author intertwines historical events, such as the Elgin Riots and the transition from British to local postal authority, with the personal journey of Sandford Fleming, the stamps' designer. The book delves into the technical aspects of stamp design and production, highlighting the artistic talent and ingenuity of Fleming, who rescued a portrait of Queen Victoria from a burning parliament building and used it as inspiration for the iconic twelve-penny black stamp.
