Stillions, immaculately-mounted on hand-lettered pages, tracing the history and purpose of the embossing of stamps to 2012, as both a security measure and for additional artistic depth. The exhibit was last shown as 3 frames of 16 pages, though another 3 or more frames of pages were written up, including mint and used singles, plate blocks (many matched sets), sheets and related postal history, Canada Post marketing material and more, and is offered with a large accumulation of related material.
