Do SCF members actively collect stamp-themed souvenir cards?
Of course...Stamp collectors collect everything

The fabulous fellow that created the 7 diadems of Vicky:
Jean Ferdinand Joubert de la Ferte came to England from Paris in 1840. He worked for de la Rue until 1866 and
dominated the whole process of reproducing postage stamps by typography. His influence extended long beyond
the reign of Queen Victoria, and the tradition of engraving en epargne which he established has so far been
unchallenged.
