Canada Post issued its holiday stamps Nov. 1.
The three-stamp set (51 cents, 89 cents and $1.49) is based
on the 1931 William E. Coutts Company Painters of Canada
Christmas card series. The illustrations are a tribute to the
greeting card art form.
The fourth holiday stamp, Vierge à l'Enfant, is the work of 19th century Québec-born painter Antoine-Sébastien Falardeau. This traditional stamp will be sold at the domestic rate. Falardeau is one of many artists to capture the image of the Madonna and Child.
