| Opmerkingen |
The Banque de la Martinique's wartime issues are a direct consequence of the Allied blockade of Vichy-controlled Martinique. After Admiral Robert's administration was effectively cut off from metropolitan France and then from normal currency supply chains, the island faced a genuine shortage of circulating paper. Notes in this series were printed in Philadelphia precisely because Free French and Allied logistical networks could reach American printers when European ones could not.
E. A. Wright was primarily a securities and commercial engraving house — not a specialist currency printer in the De La Rue or American Bank Note Company sense — which occasionally shows in the execution of this series.
