(Clifton Armstrong) 1872 1936 Howes, C. A. (Clifton Armstrong) Canada: Its Postage Stamps and Postal Stationery E-text prepared by Simon Gardner, Adrian Mastronardi, The Philatelic Digital Library Project (http://www.tpdlp.net), and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) from page images generously made available by Internet Archive (http://www.archive.org) "Canada: Its Postage Stamps and Postal Stationery" by Clifton A. Howes is a detailed examination of Canadian postal history, particularly focused on its postage stamps and postal stationery, written in the early 20th century. The work offers an extensive look at the evolution of the postal system in Canada, tracing its development from colonial times to the early years of the Dominion of Canada. This examination will likely appeal to philatelists and those interested in the historical aspects of Canada's communication infrastructure. The opening of the text establishes the significance of the topic, noting the absence of a comprehensive work on Canadian postage stamps since the publication by the Philatelic Society in London twenty years earlier. The author describes his extensive research endeavors, including visits to various collections and libraries, highlighting the rich history of Canada’s postal system, beginning with its early colonial days. The reader is introduced to the context of postal development, touching on the political unifications leading to the Dominion and the foundational changes that set the stage for the issues of postage stamps in Canada. This groundwork prepares readers for an in-depth exploration of specific issues and historical anecdotes in subsequent chapters. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
