Booklet of 10 Stamps

Quantity Produced - 1,500,000

Honour the artistic talents of five great Canadian illustrators with this booklet of 10 PermanentTM domestic stamps.

Illustrators create eye-catching visuals that appear in books and magazines, on posters and in advertisements. This colourful booklet contains five pairs of stamps featuring eclectic works by some of the most talented Canadian illustrators from the past 50 years. The featured artists are Will Davies, Blair Drawson, Gérard DuBois, James Hill and Anita Kunz, O.C.

Will Davies, a legend of Canadian commercial art, illustrated more than 500 Harlequin book covers, including the one featured on his stamp. Once an illustrator for many of North America’s best-selling magazines, Blair Drawson now writes and illustrates books. The work on his stamp, Stage Fright, is one of the many magazine pieces he produced.

Gérard DuBois has illustrated articles for leading publications in both Europe and North America. His stamp features It’s Not a Stream of Consciousness, a 2015 piece for The New York Times. James Hill was one of North America’s most sought-after illustrators between the 1950s and 1970s, producing art for countless books and magazines. The work on his stamp accompanied a 1966 Redbook feature. The iconic and internationally acclaimed Anita Kunz is known for her irreverent style. Her stamp, Best Friends, was inspired by personal concerns about humankind’s impact on the natural world.
