Thanks Lithograving; I had chosen to go with Stamp Magazine Forum, and not SCF some time ago; I learnt the lesson when SMF kicked me out and deleted all my posts; no reason given; I could not even log-on!
I will certainly post here, but refrain from items of technical nature relating to engraving. All members enjoy images that are posted here.

@canadian, yes it's a real pity that all those
posts on the Stamp Magazine forum are gone.
What a wealth of information now lost.
I can't believe anything like that would ever happen
here on the Stamp Community Family forum. |

Re loss of Stamp Magazine Forum entries.... I produced a 440 page PDF (with permission of Stamp Magazine) that contains the entire Engravers thread from 2013 to September 2014, which I then updated on 16 February this year. The cNA entries will sadly be missing between October 2014 and his "demise", but all the rest will be there.
If anyone wants this free and fully searchable 16mb PDF, drop me a line via the SCF mail facility and I will email it to you. GLENN |

Meanwhile... Karl Bickel engraved another Pestalozzi portrait, in 1946, to mark the bicentenary of the man's birth.   |

lithograving - De rien!Here is an image of a semi-postal (charity stamp) featuring a portrait of Swiss landscape artist and poet Salomon Gessner (1730-1788), designed and engraved by Karl Bickel, and issued by Switzerland on December 1, 1938, Scott No. B91, plus an image of a portrait of Salomon Gessner, age 40 (1771), by German engraver Johann Friedrich Bause (1738-1814) which may have been a model for this stamp's design.. - nethryk   |

AKPhilately, thanks for showing the Pestalozzi stamps & block plus all those colour proofs on the previous page. You seem to have quite a collection of proofs and I am green with envy.  BTW whose signature is in the selvedge? Doesn't look like Karl Bickel |

I would now like to show the stamps of Achille Ouvré (1872-1951). Even though he isn't as well known as Piel or Gandon or Decaris in my opinion he was one of the best of the early French stamp engravers, especially when one considers his portraitures. He was also different in that he strictly worked on steel engraved dies but none for typographic printing which many French engravers of the 1930's did. Here is his first issued stamp. France Scott 295 1934 Designer & Engraver : Achille Ouvré Joseph Jacquard-Lyon, inventor of an improved loom for figure weaving.  |

France Scott 303 1935 Designer & Engraver : Achille Ouvré
Victor Hugo  For some reason stamps coloured in red/violet,lilac or magenta like the one above just don't scan well compared to lets say darker colours. |
