 | | The Postal Service consultant raised a rather delicate question after receiving Ripper's drawing of the bighorn sheep, a male specimen on which a part of the testicles showed behind the hind leg. |
 | | After the design process was well under way, the decision was made at the Postal Service to hold the first-day sale of the wildlife pane at CAPEX '87, and the Advisory Committee decided it would be appropriate to depict maple leaves in one or two of the designs, in recognition of Canada's national symbol. |
 | | The Postal Service briefly considered printing the wildlife stamps on the Bureau's "D" press, a state-of-the-art unit completed in 1984 and capable of producing stamps in a combination of up to six offset colors and three intaglio (engraved) colors in a single operation. |
