Fournier was a stamp forger in the early 20th century. He started his career when he bought over the forgeries of another forger, Mercier in 1904. His forgeries are in general of deceptive quality (but he also offers forgeries made by other persons, for example Spiro). He even operated a 'philatelic clinic' where stamps could be repaired. Part of his stock was listed in his 1914 pricelist. After his dead, and after a certain Hirschberger had tried to continue the forgery business in vain, the Philatelic Union of Geneva bought his whole stock and made 480 albums with his forgeries, forged overprints and forged cancels. This society sold these 'Fournier albums' in 1928, so collectors and dealers could compare Fournier's forgeries with genuine stamps. The forgeries in these albums were overprinted 'FAUX' on the front or with 'FAC-SIMILE' on the back. Many of these albums have since been broken up, but in 1970 a photocopied version was made by Lowell Ragatz: 'The Fournier album of philatelic forgeries', in this work the 1914 pricelist is also included.

Fournier also had a 'Philatelic Clinic' were damaged stamps were repaired. The following postcard proves this:

The text reads: 'Sehr geehrter Herr! Hiermit teile ich Ihnen dass die mir seinerzeit 1 zur Repartur gesandten Marken am 31 d.M. fertiggestelt sein und gegen den Betrag von Fr. 38.- fur Gebuhr der Arbeit Ihnen sofort einge- schrieben ubersandt sein wurden. Ich erwarte also umgehend diesen Betrag und im voraus bestens dankend, zeichne. hochachtungsvoll. F.Fournier C.HIRSCHBURGER, NACHFOLGER'
Fournier did not consider himself a forger, but more a 'creator of arts objects'. He offered the forgeries as such, but the problem is that they often are taken for genuine after they are being sold. He started his forgery business in 1891, when he took over the stock of another forger: Mercier. Fournier died in 1914.
(examples of Fournier forgeries, a french colonies forgery and a Wurttemberg forgery)
In his 1914 pricelist Fournier offers all his forgeries at that time (796 sets with a total of 3671 different forgeries). He distinghuishes between first choice forgeries, second choice forgeries (often forgeries made by other people than himself, such as Spiro) and overprints.
Fournier has also made forgeries of the so-called 'Tablet' type of all French colonies. He also made forgeries of the 'pfennig' values of the ship design of all German colonies. However, these items do not appear in his 1914 pricelist.
The Fournier Album of Philatelic Forgeries can also be found at: http://www.geocities.com/claghorn1p/FournierAlbum/AlphaIdx.htm (compiled by Bill Claghorn). Example of a page of a Fournier Album:
Page of a Fournier Album (reduced size) with forgeries and cancels of Germany, some of them with 'FAC-SIMILÉ' printed many times in blue oblique lines on the backside (especially reprinted for this album); by the way, the above forgeries are not listed in Fournier's 1914 pricelist
In the next tables I have tried to reproduce his 1914 pricelist (this pricelist is in french and the prices are in Swiss Francs). Additions made by me are marked in red. I have also added two columns indicating if the forgeries are included in my Cd and if so, if distinghuishing characteristics are given.
