2007 Canada Stamp Booklet Ottawa 150 Year As Canada's Capital 1857-2007
The stamps' design uses two images to create a sense of Ottawa "then" and "now". A contemporary photograph of the Parliament Buildings shows Ottawa as it is today, with an image of a lumberers' regatta showing how Ottawa would have looked 150 years ago. This image was taken from an old copy of an engraving that was made from a drawing by G.H. Andrews of the Lumberers Regatta that was held as part of a reception in 1860 for Queen Victoria's eldest son, Albert, Prince of Wales. The Prince was visiting the newly created capital to lay the cornerstone of the soon-to-be-constructed Parliament Buildings.
