Canada Admiral Issue Stamp Booklet

Canada · 1912 · Various

This stamp booklet contains panes from Canada's definitive 'Admiral' series, featuring a portrait of King George V in the uniform of an Admiral of the Fleet. The series was in use for over a decade and saw numerous printings, shades, and paper variations, making it a complex and popular area of study for specialists. Booklets were a convenient way for the public to purchase stamps and were issued with various combinations of denominations.

The Admiral issue was Canada's first definitive series to be printed by the Canadian Bank Note Company in Ottawa after the contract moved from the American Bank Note Company. The series spanned the entirety of World War I.
