NOTICE

DEAR COLLECTORSDrawing inspiration and beauty

Jim Phillips, Director, Stamp Services

This edition of Details features the latest stamps in two long-running series, Black History and Flowers. I’d like to think that – no matter how many years these and other annual favourites run – we keep releasing new issues that are fresh and exciting. I hope you agree.

This year, we’re proud to honour Albert Jackson – the first Black letter carrier in Toronto and, most likely, all of Canada. His inspiring story of courage and determination recounted in this issue is etched on the historical plaque marking his delivery route.

And what will this year’s best-dressed wedding invitations be wearing? Issued on a day dedicated to love and romance, our flower stamps have taken a

slightly exotic turn to feature fragrant, creamy-white Cape jasmine gardenias – blooms that speak of admiration in the language of flowers.

Don’t worry, the year is still young. There’s plenty more to come.

Happy collecting,

P.S. Our next stamp issues:• Vancouver Asahi Baseball Team, March 2019• Canadians in Flight, March 27, 2019

Albert Jackson, the determined postal worker who was likely the first Black letter carrier in Canada, is once again helping to deliver the mail, thanks to this stamp celebrating his groundbreaking efforts.

Born into slavery in the United States, Jackson was just a boy when his family escaped to Canada. In Toronto, he pursued his education and won a position as a letter carrier in 1882. When he reported for work, he faced discrimination from his colleagues, who refused to train him. Debate over the situation

raged for weeks until political pressure, especially from Toronto’s Black community, triumphed and Jackson was able to walk his route.

Designed by Andrew Perro and illustrated by Ron Dollekamp, the stamp showcases Jackson in the uniform he fought so hard to wear. Dollekamp says recreating Jackson’s look was the biggest challenge. “I wanted to show him performing his duty with a slight smile and a spring in his step, as if he has stepped out of history to hand you your mail.”

Included in Stamps of Canada January-March 2019 collector’s pack: die-cut single stamp from booklet.

Issued on the day of the year devoted to love and affection, these stamps showcasing the elegance of the Cape jasmine gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides) will add a romantic touch to your mail or collection.

The newest addition in our annual flower series, this popular variety is named for its sweet perfume, which is reminiscent of the heady fragrance of a jasmine blossom. Many wedding invitations are mailed with our flower stamps, so the much-beloved,

creamy-white beauty seemed an ideal choice for a stamp design – especially since gardenias in Victorian times would suggest “I think you’re lovely.”

Designed by Andrew Conlon and Lionel Gadoury, of Context Creative – with artwork by Chantal Larocque, inspired by a photograph by Natasha V. – these delightful stamps will pin an attractive corsage on your next piece of mail.
