The Group of Seven | And Varley!

Early Morning. Sphinx Mountain, c. 1928

The artworks by Frederick Varley (1881-1969) have been the last step of the Group of Seven postal experiment. 

Stormy Weather. Georgian Bay (1921)

All the postcards have landed, and in a reasonable amount of time (It has taken me a bit longer to publish all). Plus, all had been hand-cancelled. 


You can see here the set of stamps, issued by Canadian post on 7 May.


A wonderful postal experiment carried out by Bryon, with the help of some Canadian postal workers. The result, as you can see on the pictures, is just gorgeous.

    Thanks for featuring all of those! Was a fun experiment and very educational learning about these renown Canadian artists.

    A really wonderful mail journey. I was not familiar with this group of artists.
