Canada 1930 12¢ Quebec Bridge – Scroll Issue
The 12¢ stamp of the Scroll Issue depicts the mighty Quebec Bridge, which spans the St. Lawrence River near Quebec City. Shown in dark blue engraving, the design emphasizes the vast cantilever construction — at the time, the longest cantilever bridge in the world.
The bridge’s history was dramatic and tragic: two collapses (1907 and 1916) claimed over 80 lives before the structure was finally completed in 1917. Its successful completion, however, stood as a powerful symbol of Canadian determination and engineering skill.
This 12¢ value often covered heavier international letter rates, making it a practical workhorse as well as a striking collectible. Today, it remains one of the standout designs of the Scroll Issue, admired for both its bold architecture and its story of resilience.
