Golden Jubilee Celebration Souvenir Stamp Collection


Vancouver's Golden Jubilee - 1936 

To continue with Vancouver's Golden Jubilee, the following is a collection of Golden Jubilee stamps from my Grandmother's photo album. The first three pages are actual scans from her album. The remaining images are the individual stamps which made up the series. The stamps included paintings and black and white photographs. The stamps of painted images are really interesting because they represent a unique style not seen today. The stamps include many famous landmarks in and around Vancouver which are still well known today.
