The scheme of the' new stamps as a whole is harmonious and in the .best of taste, and the blending of light and shade is most happily carried out, representing the highest expresâ€" sion of the steel engraver‘s art. The design. which thus so fitly sym- bo‘izes the Empire and Canada was in due course submitted to His Ma- jesty the King, who, as is well known, is one of the most discrimâ€" inating of judges in such matters, and received his ready approval, so that the new stamps, in addition to departmental authority for their is- sue, have the privilege of royal sanction. Franklin News 1 Ottawa, Jan. Z-Early in the New ‘Year, the first instalment of the ,King George V postage stamps will be on sale. The new stamps, which in colors and denominations will be the same as those of the current ser- ies have for their central and domin- ant feature, a faithful portrait of His Majesty in the_unif0rm of an admiral thus typifying the sailor king. At the top and above the head of the King are found the crowns, one at each side, emblematic of the Empire. Just below the portrait, and form- ing a base for the naval frame conâ€" taining the King’s head, are two supporting branches of maple leaves (more prominent than in either the present or previous stamp issues) gracefully presenting Canada’s na- tional emblem.
