Description: The stamp features an exquisitely engraved, monochromatic portrait of King George VI facing in profile to the left, rendered in a distinct orange-vermillion ink. Based on a portrait photograph taken by Dorothy Wilding, the king is depicted in civilian attire, marking a sharp transition away from the military-themed definitives utilized during the war years. The country name "CANADA" is printed horizontally across the upper portion of the design, supported directly below by the smaller bilingual inscriptions "POSTES" and "POSTAGE". Symmetrically balancing the lower left area is the numerical face value "4¢" set cleanly within the horizontally lined background frame.
Circa: 1951
