Leo August
Leo August (March 2, 1914 – December 4, 1997), of New Jersey, was a philatelist who, as a stamp dealer and publisher, created interest and awareness in the collecting of first day covers through the introduction in 1939 of "ArtCraft" engraved illustrated (or "cacheted") envelopes for use as first day covers. He also established the landmark line of "White Ace" stamp albums. ArtCraft became one of the world's most popular cachets.
==Albums and cachets==
In 1933 Leo and his brother Samuel formed the Washington Stamp Exchange on Washington Street in Newark, New Jersey. In 1939 they established the Washington Press, which created and sold ''White Ace'' album pages for collectors. They also printed and sold high-quality envelopes bearing an ''Artcraft'' (later "ArtCraft") cachet of each anticipated United States stamp to be issued, so that stamp collectors could have the envelope franked and canceled by the post office with a “first day of issue” cancellation.
