For several months, photographer Sophie Brändström captured, in their professional daily lives, those who bring to life the stamp engraved in intaglio: illustrators, engravers, printers and collectors. This exhibition invites you to meet them through a photographic and philatelic journey of exceptional richness.
How can an exceptional gesture be made visible? The photographic exhibition De l'acier au papier. Regards sur le timbre gravé offers a sensitive and unprecedented answer.
The Musée Postal highlights the meticulous art of intaglio-engraved stamps, a rare know-how – practised only in France, Czechia and China – that is inscribed on the French inventory of intangible cultural heritage.
