The George V "Medallion" definitive stamps, released on December 1, 1932, consisted of six low value denominations, 1 cent to 5 cents and 8 cents. The design was based on a profile sculpture of King George V by Edgar Mackennal.

However, the "Medallion" definitives were not the first Canadian stamps to feature the Mackennal profile of George V. On July 12, 1932, Canada Post Office released a set of four stamps to commemorate the Imperial Economic Conference, held in Ottawa. The three cent value featured the Mackennal sculpture. This was the design which was subsequently used for the Medallion definitives.

Dorothy Wilding

Dorothy Wilding (10 January 1893 - 9 February 1976) was a noted English society photographer from Gloucester. She wanted to become an actress or artist but this career was disallowed by her uncle, in whose family she lived, so she chose the art of photography which she started to learn from the age of sixteen.

By 1929 she had already moved studio a few times and in her Bond Street, London, studio she attracted theatrical stars and shot her first British Royal Family portrait of the 17-year-old Prince George (later Duke of Kent). This sitting was eventually followed by the famous Wilding portrait of the new Queen Elizabeth II that was used for a series of definitive postage stamps of Great Britain used between 1953 and 1967, and a series of Canadian stamps in use from 1954 to 1962. A previous portrait sitting of Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon Queen Consort of King George VI had turned into a double portrait of the royal couple and was adapted for the 1937 Coronation issue stamp. That portrait led to her being the first woman awarded a Royal Warrant to be the official photographer to a King and Queen at their coronation. She opened a second photo studio in New York in 1937
