Dogs Part 2
The second issue in this two-part series celebrates the different dog breeds found on Tristan da Cunha and their important role in island life.
Dogs have been part of Tristan’s history since the first permanent settlement in 1816, serving as hunting companions and helping to herd livestock. Today, working dogs such as Collies continue these traditions, alongside an increasing number of smaller companion breeds.
Beautifully illustrated against Tristan da Cunha backgrounds based on photographs by Julia Gunther, this set features four stamps:
-
65p – Miniature Chihuahua
-
£1.00 – Maltese Terrier
-
£1.10 – Long Haired Miniature Dachshund
-
£2.50 – Border Collie Blue Merle
First Day Cover: Long Haired Miniature Dapple Dachshund.
