GUERNSEY POST on 15 November 1980 issued a First Day stamp and postcard set from the Bailiwick of Guernsey. It had a face value of 10 pence.
The stamp featured a painting of Moulin Huet from circa 1850, a bay on the island of Guernsey. The painting is part of the "Le Lievre Paintings" series.
Moulin Huet bay was the inspiration for Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir, who painted 15 views of the area during a visit in 1883.
