Canada Post will issue a single self-adhesive 'P' (85c) stamp in a booklet of 10 to commemorate the Centenary of women's suffrage in Canada.
The issue was designed by Tetro and printed in lithography. Rating:- **.
The Bahamas postal administration will issue an appealing set of 4 stamps on 31 March 2016 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Bahamas Marine Mammal Research Organisation with designs which feature beautifully chosen photographs of dolphins.
The set was designed by Bee Design and lithographed by BDT International with perforation 14. It's not too surprising that this excellent issue derives from Pobjoy Stamps/Creative Direction. Note too the excellent pre-issue publicity supplied to collectors unlike the complete absence of such which is usually the case with issues from the territories on whose behalf CASCO provides an agency "service". Rating:- *****.
