Jean De Bast

Postage stamp engraver

Jacques Stes, fellow of the Académie de Philatélie de Belgique, relates the life of one of the world's greatest postage stamp engravers, Jean De Bast.

Richly illustrated deluxe edition

Written for philately experts and beginners alike, this richly illustrated deluxe edition annotates and clarifies many unpublished pieces, including proofs and tests, particularly the celebrated helmeted King and the famous Baudouin postage stamp.

Exceptional stamp engraver

Jean De Bast's is without doubt the reference body of work one would expect of an exceptional artist who engraved no fewer than 106 Belgian postage stamps.
