Le Timbre-Poste
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Le Timbre-Poste was the first French language philatelic magazine. It was published by Jean-Baptiste Moens of Brussels from 1863 to 1900. Le Timbre Fiscal was included as a supplement from volume 17 of 1879 and incorporated from January 1897, when the whole was renamed Le Timbre-Poste et Le Timbre Fiscal.[1] After Moens retired in 1900, it was discovered that his brother-in-law Louis Hanciau had actually been responsible for most of the literary content of Le Timbre-Poste.[2]
