General Description : | The domestic-rate PERMANENT™ stamp affixed to this OFDC celebrates the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty’s Coronation. The portrait featured on this stamp was painted by noted Canadian artist Phil Richards on the occasion of Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee. The portrait, which now hangs in Rideau Hall, contains details that represent Her Majesty’s ties with Canada. The Queen is shown wearing her Canadian honours, with her hand resting near a copy of the British North America Act, 1867. The flag behind establishes a red and white colour scheme that repeats in the flowers, medals, and carpet. Through the archway behind Her Majesty stands an 1838 portrait of Queen Victoria in her coronation robes, a copy of which graces the Governor General’s residence. |
