During the 1890s in Amiens, the Yvert family's printing works is the property of Louis Yvert, grandson of the founder, and his chief printer Théodule Tellier; Tellier kept the company running after the premature death of Louis' father. Louis did not like being in charge of the legimist paper founded by his father, "L'Écho de la Somme". He discovered stamp collecting thanks to Tellier, a philatelist, who had already added a small philatelic newspaper, "L'Écho de la timbrologie", to the papers printed by the company.
