Commentary

Voir nota Fayette p.128 : cet exemplaire était considéré comme un des 3 exemplaires du Génie Français connus non épinglés, après vérification il s'avère qu'il y a bien un épinglage, très discret (un seul trou repéré, à peine visible), et une légère trace de pli. Il reste un des plus beaux exemplaires connus mais est classé en SPL+.
See Fayette note p.128: this example was considered one of the 3 known unpinned examples of the Génie Français, after verification it turns out that there is indeed a pinning, very discreet (only one hole spotted, barely visible), and a slight trace of a fold. It remains one of the most beautiful known examples but is classified as SPL+
