The following specs are courtesy of CanadaModern.org.

Artifact Type: Softcover Book            Title: Souvenir Collection of the Postage Stamps of Canada 1978

Year: 1978                                         Designer: Rolf Harder

Studio: Rolf Harder & Associates      Client: Canada Post

Each double sided page provides extensive information relating the stamp’s specifications, back-story and design. The pages are printed in black in only, with the mint never hinged stamps mounted in protective sleeves within the page — placing emphasis on their striking production in contrast to the stark, factual surrounding details.

 

The cover design employs a bilingual 2 column typographic grid (which remained consistent between 1977 and 1986) with a central illustration panel. In this area Rolf Harder creates a striking strip of four definitive like stamp designs, each printed in a single Pantone ink depicting the year 1978.

 

Notable stamp designs featured in 1978 were by Stuart Ash, Carl Brett, Theo Dimson, Jean Morin, Tom Bjarnason and Reinhard Derreth.

HH — Heavily hinged — The gum has been hinged and the mark left is very large and prominent.

HR — Hinge Remnant — The gum has had a hinge applied to it and a part of the hinge was so difficult to remove that it still attached to the stamp.
