| Comments |
The Banque Cantonale Vaudoise was one of several Swiss cantonal banks that turned to Bradbury Wilkinson in the latter decades of the nineteenth century — a practical choice, given the English firm's reputation for security printing at a time when Swiss domestic capacity was limited. The plate design credits for Joseph Storck and Albert Walch place this squarely in the tradition of Viennese academic engraving, Storck being the Austrian architect and ornamentalist whose decorative work appeared across Central European printing commissions of the period.
The twenty-three year issue window is unusually long, suggesting the canton saw no pressing reason to retire the series — monetary stability in Vaud during this period was not in question.
