Fournier, François, Album de Fac-Similés, 1928, a truly legendary philatelic and cross-over literature rarity of the highest order, published by "L'Union Philatélique de Genève". Number 17 of the 480 albums produced. It is complete in the original blue binding, possibly expertly rebound. A few introductory pages have light foxing. The balance with the reproduction stamps, cancels and more are in perfect condition. Very few if any items not present. Contains hundreds of the "Fac-Similés" created by Fournier. One of the few albums to survive as most were broken up. Includes the 12 pages of "Réservés aux Experts" containing several hundred additional stamps, plus pages of "Oblitérations" (cancels) and more. A marvelous philatelic time capsule containing the life work of one of the most prolific forgers of all time. Rarely offered at auction. A unique opportunity to acquire one of the premier philatelic rarities. Shipping charges apply - weight 7.8 lbs. (Video for this lot) (Video2 for this lot) (Video3 for this lot) (Image)
