Canada 15c Large Queens Shades Used + Cartiers

Here are a page of 15c Large Queen's arranged by colour shade.
Not in my possession (a fellow collector's scan) so I have not examined them for watermarks or re-entries or just to enjoy them.

I was struck by seeing all of them together and the possible shade variations. It hits you when you see them all at once like that.

And the striking blue of one of the Cartier's in the bottom corner, wow!

All on one page:

Zoomed in on a bit in three parts:






Above scans done under plastic cover. Large scan of whole page available by email. Large scans of separate stamps bare on scanner with black background available upon request.

Oh, OK, I talked me into it, here are the three #19, 17c Blue *different shades exist) Cartier stamps, under plastic and bare on scanner with am interesting black background.

No investigation done on these yet. Just sharing for enjoyment.

Nice collection.
I find the color variations of both large and small Queens interesting. I've started of vario page of extra small queens just to have them side by side.

can you show what is a vario page?

Vario would be roughly similar to Hagner I believe.

Also comes clear and as a thicker one-sided version.

Thanks Puzzler.

Very impressive collection.
imagine, those stamps have 150 years old :-)... and here they are!
They have travel the time (hope my writing is OK)

For my info, do we have to give the reference of an article,design, web site or else each time?

It's not a rule. I started dong it just as a nod of recognition to the original site or person who has gone to all the trouble to make the picture and post it on their site or ebay or wherever.

The original copyright holder really deserves, I think, the extra little added attention their hard work has brought them. Do something good and get some recognition for it.

Sometimes I make the 'Courtesy of . . .' note and link a smaller font, 1, so as not to mar the display.

Really it is most likely a violation of copyright every time I do it but it may be considered 'fair use' as I am not selling anything with the pics, but using them for education.

Also I am not usually copying everything on that site or page but a pertinent part of the page. Referring back to the page or site helps the reader to learn more if they so wish, and from a more expert or knowledgeable source.
