| Opmerkingen |
Dulac's involvement here is worth pausing on — the Anglo-French illustrator best known for his Art Nouveau book plates was commissioned by the Free French authorities in London to design emergency treasury notes for a France still under occupation. The Phénix series was never intended for use inside metropolitan France; these notes circulated primarily in liberated territories and French overseas possessions as the Allies advanced.
Bradbury Wilkinson produced the plates to a high intaglio standard, though the wartime paper stock is notoriously variable — some examples show significant foxing and toning from storage conditions in North Africa and the Pacific.
The Fay reference VF.07 places this firmly within the provisional Free French emission sequence of 1943.
