Lists 796 'sets' - a total of 3671 forged stamps.

F. Fournier, 1914 (17th edition), 70 pages.

François Fournier (d. 1917) is considered to have been the greatest and most prolific philatelic forger of his era. This is the last edition of his price list, originally published in 1914, and listing all of the 3671 different forged stamps he sold, arranged by country and with prices in Swiss Francs. This is a very useful reference for the philatelist, providing either a watch list of the varieties for which Fournier forgeries exist, or catalogue to assist the collector of these facsimiles. There are also advertisements for Fournier's 'Philatelic Clinic', a notorious stamp repair factory, which allegedly had some 2500 clients by 1913.

The actual list is in French, although it is easy for the non-French speaker to understand, giving the country, date of issue, face value, colour etc., and the 1914 sale price of each variety (see below). A free French-English dictionary is included to help. This price list is followed by Fournier's 'terms and conditions', details of his 'Philatelic Clinic', and 20 pages of customer reviews. These interesting longer sections of text appear in several languages, reflecting the global reach of his business: English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian.

There are also a small number of illustrations in this book. To help distinguish between the genuine stamp and the forgeries by Fournier (and others) we recommend the illustrations and descriptions found in the books by Fernand Serrane. These are available in our Ebay shop.

Part of page 9 is shown in the pictures, giving the first 2 sets of forged stamps on the price-list.
