Commentary


L'exemplaire illustré dans le KM, apparemment le seul connu, provenant de la collection du Marquis de Bute, vendu avec sa pochette d'origine. On remarque la mention "seize au thaler" sur ce bon, ce qui indique que la monnaie de circulation de l'époque était encore, comme au temps de Rimbaud trafiquant d'armes, le thaler de Marie-Thérèse.
The copy illustrated in the KM, apparently the only one known, from the collection of the Marquis of Bute, sold with its original cover. Note the mention \\\"seize au thaler\\\" on this voucher, which indicates that the circulating coin of the time was still, as in the time of Rimbaud the arms dealer, the Maria Theresa thaler

Historical background


DJIBOUTI

The opening of the Suez Canal gave the Gulf of Aden an unequaled strategic importance at the exit from the Red Sea. The English controlled Aden, the French bought Obock in 1862 while Marseille shipowners settled in Tadjoura. In 1884, a French protectorate was passed with the local potentates. The same was done with the Somali chiefs. Colonel Lagarde founded Djibouti in 1888. The capital was transferred in 1891 from Obock to Djibouti. Having colony status in 1894, the region took the name of Côte Française des Somalis in 1896.
