Dr. Alexander Graham Bell,inventor of the telephone, was born in 1847. He settled at Paris, Ontario and later at "Tutela Heights," a community near Brantford, Ontario. In 1874 he invented the telephone. The first telephone was manufactured in 1875 in Boston, Mass., but Dr. Bell gave his first successful demonstration of transmitting speech (one way) over a telegraph wire between Brantford and Paris, Ontario.

The stamp depicts a winged figure of Fame crowning the effigy of Dr. Alexander Graham Bell. The symbolic figure and the portrait of Dr. Bell surmount a representation of the Western Hemisphere, indicating the main theatre of his activities. Dr. Bell's invention of the telephone is suggested by the poles with wires in background.
