Dragomir Zagorsky
Dragomir Zagorsky was a Bulgarian author and philatelist, described by Ivan Metchev as the "greatest expert and collector of Bulgaria of all time".[1]
He wrote widely on the postage stamps and postal history of Bulgaria and Eastern Roumelia. His book, The Jews of Bulgaria: A Collection of Bulgarian Judaica Jüdische (c. 1989), described, through the correspondence of Jewish merchants, the development of postal communications in Bulgaria between independence in 1878 and the Second World War.[2]
