Bluenose

The Bluenose was a celebrated racing ship and fishing vessel built in 1921 in the province of Nova Scotia, Canada. The ship became a provincial icon for Nova Scotia and an important international Canadian symbol in the 1930s.

 

The 50 cent stamp commemorating the Bluenose was issued in 1929. It was one the first Canadian postage stamps used as a medium to convey information about Canada.

 

A nod here to the work of Nick Bantock who often uses imagery which includes postcards and stamps.
