This se-tenant pair of 12c stamps (Sc #734a) was issued by Canada on May 26, 1977 to commemorate the birth centenary of Canadian artist and outdoorsman Thomas John Thomson (1877-1917). The stamps were printed together in a traditional sheet in "checkerboard" fashion, so that horizontal and vertical se-tenant pairs were produced. The stamps show two of Thomson's oil on canvas landscapes. On the left is Autumn Birches (1915), and on the right is April in Algonquin Park (1917). The artist died at age 40 (1917) in a canoeing accident in Algonquin Park.  |
