Commentary

Photographie 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 et un bracelet double. 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 cette photographie est donc entre les deux périodes. Format environ 16cm x 10,5cm. (Ce projet était très probablement destiné à l'Institut d'Émission de l'AOF et du Togo plutôt qu'à la BAO).
Photograph 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 is also wearing a choker and a pearl necklace, as well as a long braid and a double bracelet. On his blog, Mr. Buathier illustrates an attempt for the Issuing Institute of French West Africa and Togo, but the preliminary drawings certainly date from the BAO period, so this photograph is between the two periods. Approximately 16cm x 10.5cm in size. (This project was most likely intended for the Issuing Institute of French West Africa and Togo rather than the BAO.)
