Lot 80047 – France, Laureated Empire – 5fr, a group of six production elements

France, Laureated Empire – 5fr, a group of six production elements, incl. one very attractive finished reproduction with numeral 2387 (of Monaco; with Sperati horizontal pencil line on back which he appears to have applied to this issue). Three glass support clichés without value insert and with image reversal, one in black with note “Contraste Pathé”, indicating the Pathé celluloid used, two in vermilion, also one proof in the colour of the original on paper with production annotations below design, and a vermilion impression on celluloid with notes about the violet filter used in manufacture; a unique and important group for the production of the top value.
