| Comments |
Brazil's Treasury relied on the Banque de France for several emission runs in the early twentieth century, and this note — the ninth print of the series — reflects that arrangement. Duval and Crosbie were among the more capable hands working in Paris at the time; Crosbie in particular had a long association with the Banque de France's intaglio workshop.
The "9th Print" designation matters more than it might seem. Each successive print run could carry subtle differences in ink, plate wear, or paper batch, and Brazilian Treasury notes of this period are frequently miscatalogued by print number — a distinction that meaningfully affects scarcity assessments.
