General Description : | From the souvenir sheet of 4 stamps, OFDC Cancellation Location: Ottawa, Ontario, Gum Type: P.V.A. Even in its early days, Canada offered a wealth of inspiration for photographers. From its scenic beauty to its nascent urban landscapes, from politicians to powerbrokers, from aboriginals to early immigrants, the country’s early diversity played muse to some of the world’s most recognized photographers. From William Notman to Yousuf Karsh, Margaret Watkins to Gabor Szilasi, Canada has been home to photography masters who are too often better known outside of the country than within its borders. But that situation might be about to change thanks to a new multi-year series from Canada Post. Canadian Photography, which will take the place of our annual Art Canada stamps, will look at the last century and a half of photography by Canadian photographers. |
