Under Review

Description: Issued as part of Canada’s “Keep Fit” definitive series, this 8-cent carmine-red stamp depicts stylized figures engaging in skiing.

Condition: Used, on unmarked mail fragment.

Notes:

Its abstract line-pattern technique was intended to convey motion and the spirit of Canadian outdoor life, though the optical maze effect drew mixed reactions from collectors.
