What's New on this page -- changes since 01-09-2022
      03-15-2024: -- Started adding links to the Stamp Engravers Blog website, which has biographies and an extensive database with lists of stamps engraved by an unknown number of Engravers. There is no alphabetical list of Engravers on the site, so you can can only search for names you already know. Unfortunately, their database does not have a single Scott Catalog Number to immediately identify every issue described. With no Scott Numbers in the database it is not possible to find out who engraved the specific issue you want.
