Catalogue Makers - SEE ALSO : Catalogs (early data) See Also : Cachets (Makers & Catalogs) Catalog Publishers and Resources     "All four of the major general stamp catalogs we (Westerners) know today were formed either by pioneers, such as Gibbons, or men who were born in or grew up in the hegemony era, such as Scott. A major catalog begun during the "gilded age" was that published in 1897 by Louis Yvert (1866-1950). It was closely associated with Parisian dealer and collector Theodore Champion (1875-1954), who edited it practically alone from about 1900 to his death. Champion had a world-class holding of unused classic stamps. In 1928 Yvert published a basic catalog of French postal markings, edited by Ferdinand Doe and Baron Renault: Doe began collecting them in 1890. Hugo Michel (1866-1911) first published the fourth general catalog as a summation of his life's work in 1910. It is arguably the best general catalog today."
