	Postage stamps and postal history of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Canada issued an interesting stamp depicting a map of the entire world, with British possessions marked in red, inscribed "XMAS 1898" (the rate took effect on Christmas Day), and "WE HOLD A VASTER EMPIRE THAN HAS BEEN" underneath, a line extracted from "A Song of Empire" composed by Sir Lewis Morris in 1887.
		The stamp was notable as the first multi-colour stamp of Canada, and also for the tremendous variability of the red highlighting, resulting in amusing geographical incongruities.
		This stamp was issued again in 2005 as a 50 cent denomination, and a 51 cent denomination in 2006 (see Queen Elizabeth II definitive stamp (Canada)).

	The Admiral Stamps of Canada
		The total number of stamps printed, stated by Boggs, in Vol I of "Postage Stamps and Postal History of Canada" quotes 3,330,000, but this is disputed by Marler as not being accurate, as it appears that a number of the Perf 12 x Imperf rolls are included in this figure.
		The stamps used were all from Plate 2 (the Retouched Die), and it is thought that between 5000 and 8000 stamps were involved.
		The first stamps in this format were made up from the regular sheet format stamps, but due to the layout of the subjects, could only be cut in strips of ten, and a complete roll therefore required 50 strips in all, or 49 paste-ups.

	The Small Queens
		The Postage Stamps and Postal History of Canada has much valuable information and although some of the opinions expressed on the Small Queens have been superseded by later research the basic structure remains sound.
		None of these books was intended to tell one everything there is to know about Small Queens; there are areas of uncertainty and controversy still, some of which may never be resolved; but to point one in the right direction so that one can have the fun of exploring for oneself.
		From the evidence of the stamps it took the printers far longer to persuade the Post Office to allow them, doubtless as a temporary measure, to move operations.
