Commentary

Dessin original au crayon sur calque par Clément Serveau du thème principal du recto d'un projet non adopté de 1000F pour la BAO représentant un enfant dans les bras de sa mère, à noter que celle-ci est désormais habillée contrairement aux essais précédents, elle porte aussi un tour de cou et un collier de perles, ainsi qu'une longue tresse. Sur son blog, M.Buathier illustre un essai pour l'Institut d'émission de l'AOF et du Togo mais les dessins préliminaires datent certainement de la période BAO. Format total environ 17cm x 19cm. (Ce projet était très probablement destiné à l'Institut d'Émission de l'AOF et du Togo plutôt qu'à la BAO).
Original pencil drawing on tracing paper by Clément Serveau of the main theme of the front of an unadopted 1000F project for the BAO depicting a child in his mother's arms. Note that the mother is now dressed, unlike in previous attempts, and also wears a choker and a pearl necklace, as well as a long braid. On his blog, Mr. Buathier illustrates an attempt for the Issuing Institute of AOF and Togo, but the preliminary drawings certainly date from the BAO period. Total size approximately 17cm x 19cm. (This project was most likely intended for the Issuing Institute of AOF and Togo rather than the BAO.)
