        History

        Montrealer Philippe Masson was born on October 4, 1911, in Terrebonne, Quebec, the son of Joseph Masson, Seigneur of Terrebonne, now a vibrant community northeast of Montreal. Little is known about the life of Philippe Masson apart from the fact that he suffered from a chronic illness and died at the age of 32 on August 1, 1944. His remains are buried in the Parish church in Terrebonne. Despite his illness, he developed an interest in the collecting of ephemera. He developed a passion for the collection of bookplates, which he pursued in a single-minded fashion. In addition, he methodically catalogued and described his collection in fifteen volumes.
