Canada’s “Scroll” Issue of 1928–29 is often considered one of the finest definitive series ever produced. Named for the ornate scrollwork framing each design, the set marked a dramatic shift in Canadian philately by introducing pictorial high values alongside traditional portraits.

  • Low to Mid Denominations (1¢–8¢): Feature engraved portraits of King George V in bold colors.

  • 10¢ Mount Hurd: Showcases the Canadian Rockies with totem poles in the foreground.

  • 12¢ Quebec Bridge: A tribute to Canadian engineering achievement.

  • 20¢ Harvesting Wheat: Celebrates the nation’s agricultural strength.

  • 50¢ Bluenose: Widely considered Canada’s most beautiful stamp, depicting the legendary Nova Scotia schooner.

  • $1 Parliament: A striking view of Ottawa’s Parliament Buildings with the Peace Tower.

These classically engraved stamps represent both the beauty and history of Canadian philately at its best.
