Author
  • 1934 stamp designed by George Arthur Gundersen (1910-1975)
  • Picture engraved by Bruce Hay
  • The central portion of the design was engraved from a drawing in the Montreal offices of the British American Bank Note Company. Although the drawing is signed, the signature cannot be deciphered. It may be the work of a former staff artist of about 1880. (From: Patrick, Douglas and Mary Patrick. Canada's Postage Stamps. Toronto, McClelland and Stewart Limited, 1964, p. 68.) [3]
