It's impossible for even the richest philatelist to keep a world collection anymore. Last year alone, somne 7,000 new stamps were issued and -the num- ber increases each year. This has forced many collectors into specialties and thematics, also known as topicals. Canadian stamps are amnong themost popular in the world with collectors. Anyone reading the phila- telic press in the U.S., the U. K., or as far away !as Australia, cannot but no- tice the number of dealers sellng Canadian material, and wanting to buy. Topical colectors seek stamrps on a theme, or single subject. For exam- pIe, Lew Waller of Pointe Claire, Que., bas put to- gether a prize-winning,col- lection on waterfalls of the world. He's also written a book on the subject. Canadian stamps have been a goîdmine for topi- calists, with the series on ships (Scott 670-3, 700-3, 744-7, 776-9) or aircraft (Scott 843-6, 873-6, 903-6, 969-71) îmmediately corn- ing to mind. Canada has just added four more stamps that will, make topicalists jump with joy: a set of 32-centers marking old Canadian lighthouses. .One stamp features the first lighthouse, buiit in Nova Scotia (and perhaps in the cou ntry). It was bult bewecn1731 and 173à ta mark the entrance to Louis- bourg, the giant, French fortress on Cape Breton Island, near present-day Sydney. The lighthouse was se- verely damaged during a 1758,bombardment by the British. The fortress felI, and the following year British forces went on to capture Quebec City, and bring an end to French rule in Canada, except for the small islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Another stamp shows the lighthouse at lie Verte (Green Island) on the St. Lawrence River at the mouth pf the mighty Sa- guenay River. It was built in 1809 and stands today. Canada's Great Lakes waterway system was hon- ored with the June 26 stamp marking the 25th anniversary of the 1959 opening of the SU. Law- rence Seaway (Scott 10 15). lit was honored the same day with a U.S. stamp. The system is further. honored with a stamp in the lighthouse' set. It shows the lighthouse at Gbraltar Point on Toronto Island. lt's the oldest existîng lighthouse in the system, built in 1808. It stands today, màintained as a historic site by the City of Toronto. The fourth stamp shows Fisgard lighthouse at the entrance to Esquimalt Har- bor, just outside Victoria on Vancouver Island. The lighthouse was buit -of brick- between 1858 and 1860. Not onîy is it stili standing, it's still in use., It's preserved as a historic site by Parks Canada. Esquimaît, in case a few of you didn't know, is the site of. Canada's major naval base on the West Coast and is home for the Pacific fleet. The" lighthouse stamps are from paintings done by Dennis Noble of Toronto. He showed the lighthouses as they might have looked when buiît. Project art directowa Ken Rodmeli, also of Tor- onto. He provided the type d's ign. Ashton-Potter of To- ronto was the printer, put- ting out 21 million stamps. These are the first Cana- dian stamps to feature lighthouses. Aircraft have bèen featured on a large number of Canad ian stamps; those 1 have men- tioiied here are part of a special transportation se- ries issued over-a period of four years. A I 2-center issued Sept. 16, 1977 (Scott 739) is an example of a stamp that could be used in several topical collections. It shows Sir Sandfürd Fleming in the foreground, a bridge across a river with a train on it in the background. The stamp could be in a collection with a topic of bridges, also trains. Fleming mappçd the route for the intercolonial railway, s0 it could also be in cartography, and' per- haps others. Fleming designed Ca-, nada's first stamp,- the famous 1851 three-penny beaver. So No. 739 could well be in a collection of stamps on stamps. LETTERS Letters are, invited. Please send eniquiries to the writer at P.O. Box 40, Beauharnois, Que., J6N, 3C 1. [i iaptnr7 ..
