The Thomas D’Arcy McGee stamp. Largely thanks to the efforts of Postmaster General Charles Murphy, McGee was featured in a “historical series” of Canadian stamps in 1927 – making him the first Irishman in the English-speaking world to appear on a postage stamp.

- From Thomas D’Arcy McGee, Volume 2 by David Wilson.
