Imagine having to choose the best images to reflect Canadian photography from the past 150 years – and depict that talent in just seven stamps a year. That balancing act would demand expertise and judgment. In planning this multi-year series, Stamp Design Manager Alain Leduc approached a group of archivists and museum curators with historical and technical knowledge of photography in Canada.
They chose 35 photographers they deemed prominent in the history of Canadian photography. They were then asked to suggest one representative photograph from each artist. From this list, Leduc and his design team chose seven artists to be featured on five domestic-rate stamps, one U.S. denomination and one international stamp for each year of the series. They also had to consider the period in which the photo was shot, the location, and its quality and integrity once reduced to stamp size.
Featuring Fred Herzog’s Bogner’s Grocery (1960).
