    sábado, 29 de septiembre de 2018 A STAMP FOR CANADA, & THE RPSC Andrés Cadena (left), Chief of the Philatelic Service of Ecuador, and Jim Taylor Jim Taylor When I look at the stamps in my album, I often marvel at how beautiful they are, and I wonder what it must be like to put pen to paper and actually design a stamp. Well, a couple of years ago, I got that chance. I was attending an international philatelic exhibition in Ecuador to mark 150 years of postage in that country. (1) Organizers were looking for stamps designs to commemorate the event, and I thought, “Why not?”. Initially, the idea was to issue a sheet of stamps with all of the countries involved to publicize, and promote, the exhibition. Each of the 20 participating countries was asked to submit a design incorporating a scene from their homeland, and their flag. The job fell to me because of my connection, and involvement with the Royal Philatelic Society of Canada. Unlike many of the entrants, I threw myself fully into the job at hand, and created an „essay‟, which is what a stamp in the design stage is called. My design included Canada‟s flag, the RPSC logo, and a picture of a well-known Canadian stamp. I mean, who could resist the offer to design a postage stamp representing Canada and the Royal? I have many design ideas teaming in my brain, and this was just one of them. I‟ve always liked the two cent Canadian stamp, with an engraved polar bear, designed by John Crosby (1925-2016).
