This is a special behind-the-scenes look at the work of Mr. Sefi - the Royal Philatelic Collection's Keeper - on the Canadian Museum of Civilization's latest exhibition: Her Majesty's Stamps. This exhibition explores the history of postal reform in Great Britain, which led to the introduction of the postage stamp in 1840. This important innovation, which revolutionized the world of written communication, was eventually adopted in Canada and around the globe. It features a selection of extraordinary material from the Royal Philatelic Collection, including colour and obliteration trials from the worlds first stamps, early stamp designs, original artwork, archival documents as well as unique Canadian philatelic gems that reveal fascinating facts in Canadian postal history.
