1957 Peru French Exposition Stamp

[roos]

I am just wondering if any members have a catalogue for the stamps of Peru.
I am wanting to know who engraved the 40c stamp from the 1957 Peru French Exposition set.

Here is a scan of what the stamp looks like




Look forward to hearing from members

Thanks heaps darkormex. I think the Dutch site you have shared has verified that it was in fact engraved by Decaris

Oh and that site is getting added to my favourites as well

roos, when I saw it I thought it was pretty interesting too...I suddenly had this urge to collect stamps engraved by Decaris...as if I need another sub-collection to add to what I already collect....

darkormex, what got me into collecting the stamps Albert Decaris engraved was a Facebook page called Albert Decaris Stamps & Art.

I also collect the stamps engraved by Pierre Gandon (Facebook Page pierre gandon stamps & art) and Czeslaw Slania.
