Commentary
Beaucoup plus rare que les indices du Gailhouste ne peuvent le laisser penser, c’est la troisième fois que nous proposons cette référence en vingt ans.
Notons que notre exemplaire porte le numéro insculpé - 3 - La date 1905 est insculpée dans l’ouvrage de Gailhouste alors qu’elle est, sur notre exemplaire, en relief et dans le coin. Il est probable que c’est à ces deux versions que fait référence la mention “en relief” ou “en creux” dans le Gailhouste.
Autre variante que ne signale pas Gailhouste, notre exemplaire ne porte pas la signature du graveur même s’il est évident que le coin est bien de la main de Roquelay.
Much rarer than the Gailhouste indices would suggest, this is the third time we have offered this reference in twenty years. Note that our example bears the inscribed number - 3 - The date 1905 is inscribed in Gailhouste's work, whereas on our example it is in relief and in the corner. It is likely that it is to these two versions that the mention \\\"in relief\\\" or \\\"in hollow\\\" in Gailhouste refers. Another variant that Gailhouste does not mention is that our example does not bear the engraver's signature, even though it is clear that the corner is indeed in Roquelay's hand.

Historical background
INSURANCES
Under the Old Regime, insurance was above all maritime. It is a contract by which an individual undertakes to repair the losses linked to a shipwreck, for a certain sum which is paid to him in advance.. Thus, for example, we see that in the 18th century, in Bordeaux, maritime insurance was concentrated in the hands of a few large shipowners such as François Bonnaffé. An order of 1681 leaves the greatest freedom in the relationship between insurers and insured, hence the multiplication of players on the market. Still in Bordeaux, we then see the intervention of Parisian, Dutch and English companies. . . Non-maritime insurance became popular late (middle of the 18th century). They most often offer a guarantee against fire. Example: the general insurance company obtained the privilege of Louis XV in 1753 for the guarantee of maritime trade and to insure houses against fire. In the 19th century, we witness the emergence of countless companies, often specialized in very specific sectors, which will allow the development of the economy by pooling risks.. They are complemented by mutual associations and mutual aid.
