Dear all,
For those who collect stamps with maps on them, in 1898, Canada
issued the first Christmas stamp.  It had a map of the world,
showing tbe British Empire in red (what else).  Within the last
few weeks, Canada Post has issued a commemorative celebrating
the 100th Anniversay of the Imperial Penny Postage.  The 1898
British Empire map is again featured.
