This stamp was designed by Jorge Peral, the artistic director of the Canadian Bank Note Company, for Canada Post to commemorate the four-hundredth anniversary of the foundation of Quebec.
What a handsome stamp!
Reminds me of the stamps I collected as a boy.
In Europe the only country still producing handsome stamps is Switzerland.
