Alfred Montader

[France] (b 1855/d 1926)

Alfred Montader by Eugene Ringot

Pierre Marie Alfred Montader  was a painter and also made numerous Book illustrations [ we can highlight the 'Le Babylone Électrique' (1888) and 'L'Auvergne' (1896)]... (...) his interest for Philately dated from the first days of his Magazine 'Le Postillon' , that will be edited only in 1901...the subject of the magazine are all those falsifications, errors, and other day to day issues of Philatelic origin...Alfred Montader will became a legend in French Philately because of the duration of his Magazine that has survived the WWI and reached the emblematic mark of the 25 years of existence...the last number of the Magazine corresponded to the death of it's creator and editor...

[ There are two stamps, one from Martinique 1945 and other from Guadeloupe 1945, that must have been designed by Edmund Dulac, but I have no data from the catalogs.. I only know that the printing was from De La Rue.Co, London in both cases.. knowing that Edmund Dulac used always British Printers,we could assume that those stamps were designed by him, but I prefer to follow the Catalogs and so, I don't present those two stamps... ]
