STAMPS PICTURING
THE NEWFOUNDLAND DOG 

There are several famous paintings which feature the Newfoundland Dog.

The most famous of these is Sir Edwin Landseer's  "A Distinguished
 Member of the Humane Society", painted in 1838.

Almost equally as famous, is the 1878 painting by Auguste Renoir titled
"Madame Charpentier and Her Children Paul and Georgette".

This painting has been the subject of several different sets
of stamps.
