Commentary
Cet exemplaire est connu mais a été jusqu’à présent mal décrit et daté. En effet, on rencontre au revers un rameau de chêne au lieu d’un rameau d’olivier et, surtout, le différent est celui d’Henri Auguste Patey qui n’entre en fonction qu’en 1896. Cet essai n’est donc pas de 1895 comme indiqué par erreur par Guilloteau (repris par Gadoury en 1989). Nous pensons que cet essai est de 1896 ou 1897.
This example is known but has been poorly described and dated until now. Indeed, on the reverse we find an oak branch instead of an olive branch and, above all, the difference is that of Henri Auguste Patey who only took office in 1896. This essay is therefore not from 1895 as mistakenly indicated by Guilloteau (repeated by Gadoury in 1989). We believe that this essay is from 1896 or 1897

Historical background
FRENCH THIRD REPUBLIC
(4/09/1870-10/07/1940)
Thiers was overthrown by the monarchists on May 24, 1873 and replaced by Marshal Mac Mahon. The mandate of the president is extended to seven years by the Assembly. The attempt to restore the Monarchy in the person of Henry V fails, because the latter refuses to give up the white flag. The constitutional laws passed on November 30, 1875 will not be modified until 1940; they bring relative political stability and rule out monarchical re-establishment. The legislative conflict of 1877, which opposed Jules Simon and the Duke of Broglie, turns to the advantage of the Republicans. The Universal Exhibition of 1878 takes place at the Trocadéro. The telephone made its appearance in Paris in 1879. Mac Mahon, in conflict with the Assembly, resigned ("submit or resign"). Jules Grévy was elected in his place. Gambetta becomes President of the Chamber of Deputies. The Prince Imperial, son of Napoleon III, is massacred by the Zulus in English uniform. July 14 became a national holiday in 1880..
