Jean de Sperati (1884-1957) was among the most noted stamp forgers of the world. Even professional stamp authenticators of his time attested to the genuineness of his stamps. A printer and engraver by profession, he was able to mimic the details of design, the pressure and the paper with such accuracy that he earned the title "the Rubens of Philately".
