Decoupage ? by Nick Bridgwater[_2_]
Can anyone help me with "decoupage" as applied to the printing of early Romanian stamps by Anatole Hulot at the Paris Mint in 1872 ? What exactly is "decoupage", was it used for French stamps of the period as well, pictures/diagrams would be a bonus ! Regards, Nick
