Joseph Rajewicz (1919-2010) was a Polish-born illustrator and engraver
of postage
stamps and medals who emigrated to
France in the early 1960s. He began engraving
stamps for
France in the mid-1980s, and ultimately produced 17
of them for that country. Here are images
of three examples
of Joseph Rajewicz's design and engraving skills on
stamps issued by
France, plus some other relevant images.
