Engraved by Yves Beaujard

In 2014, an art book was published celebrating the works of Karl Bickel Junior. It is huge, it is printed in limited edition (the first and I presume only print run was 300 copies) and it is beautiful.

Karl Jr, like his father, was a multi-facted artist and the bulk of this book deals with his paintings and drawings. But he was also an engraver, again like his father, and there is a special chapter on this art form. Besides his private art, Karl's stamp work is also featured, though mainly by showing the stamps he created.

The text (in German) is limited to an introduction and a biography, with private photographs, so it really is an art book, but if you like magic realism, which is what his art is sometimes called, you would certainly enjoy this book!

BIOGRAPHY: Willem Steelink Sr

Willem Steelink Sr (1826-1913) was an artistic engraver from Amsterdam. He attended the Rijksacademie voor Beeldende Kunsten (Royal Academy of Visual Arts) and became known for his illustrative work and his engraving of other (painted) works.

Steelink had already worked for Enschedé on some banknotes, when he was asked to engrave the ornamental frame for the 1898/9 Dutch high value definitives, after Rudolf Stang had told the printers he did not have the time to engrave the whole stamp. Stang would eventually only engrave the portrait.

Steelink submitted his die on 1 September 1897. It was approved on the 8th of September except for the inscriptions. It took a lot of time to get the lettering right. In fact, the stamps, which were supposed to have been issued on 6 September 1898, Coronation Day, were still not ready. The 1g value was rushed out to have at least something new for sale in the post offices that day, but the lettering was still not acceptable to the authorities.

BIOGRAPHY: George W Babcock

George W Babcock was born in Providence, Rhode Island, US, on 21 April 1814. He worked as a watchmaker and was also an engraver for banks in his hometown Providence.
In the summer of 1846 Babcock got the opportunity to engrave the postmaster’s provisional stamp issue for Providence. It was a single design in two values, a 5c and a 10c, both printed in black. The printing plate included twelve stamps:eleven copies of the 5c and a single 10c, in the top right corner. Unusually, Babcock engraved the complete printing plate, not just a single stamp design. This means that there are eleven individually engraved versions of the 5c stamp!
George W Babcock passed away in Providence, on 1 October 1883.
