This Cayman Islands Christmas stamp, issued in 1968, depicts The Adoration of the Shepherds by Carel Fabritius. The nativity scene shows the Virgin Mary and Child surrounded by Joseph and the shepherds, rendered in warm tones. At right, the magenta panel features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a tiara, alongside the festive inscription “Christmas 1968.” Denominated at ¼d, this issue was part of the seasonal set celebrating both religious art and the Cayman Islands’ connection to the British Crown. A beautifully designed piece that blends fine art with philately, it holds special appeal for thematic collectors of Christmas, royalty, and religious motifs.
