Georges Fouré

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georges Fouré (1848 in Paris-1902) was a 19th century French-German philatelist and stamp forger.

Fouré lived in Berlin and was the editor of the "Berliner Illustrierte Briefmarkenzeiting". As such he introduced his audience to remarkable "discoveries" of stamps of the German States that in reality he had created. He did not imitate known stamps, but like an artist, he cerated new ones. He took no one in confidence, never disclosed what and how he did his forgeries.
