The extensive report of L’Écho de la timbrologie (July-August 2019) on “Le championnat de France” in Montpellier in June and the Grand Prix awarded to Louis Fanchini’s exhibit “The production and the postal use of the Large Hermes Heads of Greece (1861-1886)” caused a multiple chain reaction. As a result, NOTOS 2021 was included in the pages of Le Monde, with double reference to the exhibition website!
In a two-page interview in the same issue of L’Écho, Louis described the most fascinating details on the Large Hermes Heads and emphasized that the seven typographic plates of the first Greek stamps will be exhibited to the public for the first time in Athens in 2021.
The article in Le Monde, “Philatelic summer readings”, included summaries of stories from four French philatelic journals. Luckily for us, the connection Montpellier – Louis Fanchini – Large Hermes Heads – Typographic plates – NOTOS 2021 was selected by Le Monde to represent the summer writings of L’Écho.
