World Stamp Today:
JANUARY 29, 2005
Canada Post released on January 29, 2005 the sixth series of stamps that pays tribute to NHL All-Stars from yesteryears.
The stamps feature goaltender Grant Fuhr, forwards Henri Richard, John Bucyk, and Bryan Trottier and defensemen Allan Stanley and Pierre Pilote.
Stéphane Huot of Montréal designed the stamps. She is assisted by Pierre Rousseau, a computer artist who did the retouch in all of the portraits and added color to some which were black and white.
The sheet consists of six stamps just like the previous issues and illustrated by François Escalmel plus six portraits of the "stars", retouched by Rousseau.
The stamps on the left and right sides of the sheet feature action shots of the players in puck-shaped frames.
The interior of the sheet has formal head-and-shoulder portraits of the players - superimposed upon star-shaped backgrounds.
