Commentary
Photographie du recto d'un premier dessin du 100 Francs Sully. Grand format 31,6cm x 21,7cm. Au dos cachet de l'atelier de Lucien Jonas (1880-1947). En bas, l'annotation : Lily Van Bylen - MARS 1938 confirme à la fois la date du projet mais aussi le nom du modèle Lily Van Bylen, dont aucune trace n'a subsisté, selon certains il est même possible que ce soit un nom inventé par Jonas..
Photograph of the front of an early drawing for the 100 Francs Sully stamp. Large format, 31.6cm x 21.7cm. On the back, the stamp of Lucien Jonas's (1880-1947) studio. At the bottom, the annotation: Lily Van Bylen - MARCH 1938 confirms both the date of the project and the name of the model, Lily Van Bylen, of whom no trace has survived; according to some, it is even possible that it was a name invented by Jonas.
