Canada Post unveiled and issued a stamp commemorating 102-year-old singer and television host Eleanor Collins. The stamp is part of the Black Heritage Month series.
Eleanor Collins was a trailblazer — becoming the first female Canadian jazz artist (and one of the first Black performers in North America) to host a national television series, The Eleanor Show, in 1955. She hosted a second namesake TV series — Eleanor — in 1964.
Designed by Paprika, the stamp features an illustration by David Belliveau based on photographs by Franz Lindner. The photos are from the CBC Still Photo Collection. The stamp shows two images of Collins: a portrait from a publicity photo on the right and a silhouette of her with a microphone on the left.
Her name appears in bold, orange letters in the upper left of the design. The “P” inside a maple leaf, representing that this is a permanent-rate stamp, is in the lower right on the collar of her blouse.
