Sunday Stamps - Paintings: Panama
I have photographed the stamps I am showing this week as I cannot use my scanner with my Macbook Air. Both show paintings of sailing ships from the 17th to the 19th Century, but by different artists.

Ludwig Lebreton (1818-1866) was a French painter and mariner. The American whaling ship, the Uncas, was built in 1828 in Falmouth, Massachusetts, USA. The ship is named after Unk, the commander-in-chief of the Indian Mohegan tribe.

Oooh, and a whale, too!!
I like seeing ships in full sail on rough waters. (wouldn't like to be on one, of course)
Hi Bob - well done - they work well ... and I love seeing the art work - and interesting notes - cheers Hilary
Very detailed paintings that make beautiful stamps.
I like the ship in full sail and I'm fond of marine paintings in general so they are both winners.
