The 1963 Christmas stamp featured the 'The Holy Family
with a Shepherd' by Titian. Although only one shepherd is shown in
adoration, the subject of this painting is probably a variation on the
Adoration of the Shepherds.
The stamp was larger than previous years
to capture more detail. The complete painting was
reproduced.
