| Opmerkingen |
The Caisse Centrale de la France d'Outre-Mer was created by de Gaulle's provisional government in 1941 specifically to provide a parallel monetary infrastructure for French territories liberated from Vichy control. These 1944 notes were produced by Bradbury Wilkinson in London as part of that wartime reconfiguration — currency as an instrument of political reconstitution as much as anything else.
Edmund Dulac's involvement is worth noting. The Franco-British illustrator, better known for his Orientalist book illustration work, contributed to several Allied wartime currency and stamp commissions. His hand gives this series an aesthetic distinctly unlike the Banque de France's pre-war academic engraving tradition.
