I fear they aren't.

The angel (lower row, second from right) is part of a set of stamps with paintings from a chapel in Dissay.
The blue one (lower row, far left) and the red one (upper row, second from left) belong together. These are paintings of Jean-Baptiste Greuze, the blue one is called "Young girl with little dog", the red one is called "Dead bird".
The black one you have twice (upper row, far left) and the green one (lower row, far right) belong together in a set as well, these are sculptures from a church in Tonnerre.
The last two (the two right ones in the upper row) are sculptures of saints in a church in Brou. The purple one is a sculpture of St. Barbara, the patron saint of artillerymen, military engineers, miners and others who work with explosives. The other one is a sculpture of Sibylle (Sibyl -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sibyl ).

The only one in my collection:

"OK, now drop 'em!" Nurse wielding a wicked-looking hypodermic needle, printed by offset, and issued by the People's Republic of China in 1956, Scott No. 276.

Nurses Registration :

From my Red Cross Topic collection.

Canada has issued two stamps honouring Nurses in general.

In 1639, three Augustinian nuns were sent by France to assist the Jesuit missionaries in Canada. By 1899, nurses began to organize into formal groups across Canada to have a national voice. In 1908, representatives of all groups met in Ottawa, Ontario and the Canadian National Association of Nurses was formed. The Canadian group was accepted as a full member at the International Council of Nurses meeting in London, England in July of 1909. The name was changed to the Canadian Association of Nurses in 1924. Today, more than 250,000 registered nurses provide dedicated, compassionate and knowledgeable caregiving with a personal touch - helping people attain, maintain and recover optimal health - from birth through end of life. The ratio of practicing nurses to the Canadian population in 2005 was one to every 120 persons. Although the profession is comprised primarily of females, males represent more than 5 per cent of all registered nurses.






Unfortunately, I don't have any spares to give you.

Do we know anything about the lass on the 5c Canadian?
I feel like I have read a story about her many years ago.
Perhaps I am mistaken.

PS that nurse on the 52c looks like Sandra Bullock :)

Don't know who the nurse is on the 5c but my Unitrade catalogue says that it's the first Canadian stamp purposely designed with a living model as the featured symbol of the theme the stamps express.

As for the other nurse, I should probably not comment. But I am starting to feel a little feverish myself.

I always think they could have tarted up the Canada Scott#380 issue a bit in terms of colour. Is it just me or did we produce a lot of drab stamps in regards to colour in the 1950s? Having said that though, one of my favourite Queen Elizabeth stamps is the 1959 Scott#386. I must add that there is nothing drab about that Scott#2275, in fact, my pulse quickened. Some nurses will do that!
