Luc Olivier Merson won the Prix de Rome in 1869 and spent much of his career as a decorative muralist and stained-glass designer — his work appears in the Sacré-Cœur basilica. That background shows in this note's compositional ambition, and Romagnoli's engraving work for the Banque de France was among the most technically accomplished of the interwar period.
The "large cartridges" distinction separates this from the 1906 type's later printings, which modified those ornamental cartouche elements — a detail that matters for accurate attribution since the two types overlap in date and share the same Pick number family. Three distinct signature pairings across a fourteen-year run document the note's unusual longevity in active issue.
