1989 - 1995 : 50th Anniversary of World War II Stamps


From 1989 to 1995, Canada Post Corporation (CPC) issued four stamps per year marking the 50th anniversary of World War II.  The stamps weredesigned to capture the "achievements and sacrifices during Second World War". Although the illustrations by Jean-Pierre Armanville and  monochromatic designs by  Pierre-Yves Pelletier  captured the graphic art style of the 40s, the images are difficult to make out with the naked eye.
