LX204C. World Exhibition in Montreal 1967

Centered on the theme "Man and His World," the 1967 World's Fair showcased the best the 62 participating nations had to offer. The real star of the show, though, was Canada, the country that celebrated its centennial year at Expo '67 in Montreal.

The image depicts male dancing Tutsi’s in their costumes, with bow and arrows.

LX204C. Luxury sheet, red-brown. 180F perforated and imperforated

Note: I do not think that this is the “intended” luxury sheet, and the “intended” luxury sheet was never made. In my opinion there are two different color sheets, but not catalogued as such. Block 7 and this sheet are made on the same paper and both are gummed. (It is advised to look at the block 7 and the proofs at this Website).
