Albuisson's first stamps for Monaco were released in 1986, and
his career for the Monegasque Post Office has continued ever since. When
browsing the Monaco-pages of this site, you will see a wonderful evolution in
his work, ranging from the strict lines of a closely defined job to engravings
of a more free style with a light and easy touch.
-
Monaco 1986. Commemoration of Pierre Corneille and "Le
Cid". Design by Pierrette Lambert, and engraving by Albuisson.
-
Monaco 1986. Commemoration of Franz Liszt. Design by
Pierrette Lambert, and engraving by Albuisson.
The International Philatelic Exhibition at Monte Carlo 1987 took
place from 13th to 17th November 1987, and the below four stamps on the theme
"Butterfly and Philately" were issued for the occasion. The stamps
show a butterfly mirroring itself in en engraving plate. They were designed by
Odette Baillais, and engraved by Albuisson.
In a large series of eight stamps that include such renowned
persons as Marc Chagall, Le Corbusier, Isaac Newton, and Samuel Morse, Pierre
Albuisson was commissioned to engrave these two stamps, featuring the
bicentenary of Mozart's creation of "Don Juan" [Don Giovanni], and the
composer Hector Berlioz and the 150th anniversary of his composition "The
Mass of the Deads" [La Messe des Morts]. Again the design is by Pierrette
Lambert, and the engraving by Albuisson.
Albuissons first "full stamp" for Monaco, i.e.
both design and engraving, was this very nice Christmas stamp 1987,
showing the face of a lovely little girl in expectance of Father
Christmas, and all the presents he might bring her. Other than the girl, the stamp shows the Christmas Star shining
brightly from above, Father Christmas, and a Christmas Angel. The
engraving is made in taille-douce.

From the set of four stamps of "Celebrities"
(containing also Jean Monnet and Maurice Chevalier), Albuisson was chosen for
the design and engraving of the British romantic poet, Lord Byron (1788-1824),
and the French dramatist, Pierre de Marivaux (1688-1763).
In 1989 Monaco released the stamp below right, depicting The
Venerable Archbishopric Notre-Dame de la Miséricorde.

Monaco 1988. Lord Byron. George Gordon Noel Byron, 6th Baron
Byron, was born 22 January 1788 in London and died 19 April 1824 in
Missolonghi, Greece. He was among the most famous of the English
'Romantic' poets; his contemporaries included Percy Shelley and John Keats.
He was also a satirist whose poetry and personality captured the imagination
of Europe.
