Sunday Stamps - paintings


Although I haven't seen any Cornelius Krieghoff paintings in a very long time I always associate his
old fashioned winter scenes with old Christmas cards and calendars. 
The one above is the Blacksmith's Shop (c1871) issued in 1972 a century after his death

The one below, issued in 2000, is an 1858 painting of Niagara Falls.

  1. I must have seen some of this on Christmas cards, too, but I didn't know the name of the painter!

    My contribution is here.

  2. The Blacksmith's Shop is much more impressive than the Niagara Falls.
