Watch List notes:

Banque de l'Afrique Occidentale, a group of five partial proofs from the issue of 1000 francs, ND (1901), all depict the lower right corner on large-format paper and with design of elephant, value and tree with ship in the background: one is grey-blue, one is blue and pale orange, one is violet and pale orange, one is red and the last one red and blue. All have pencil annotations by (presumably) the designer Henry Bellery-Desfontaines,(Pick 14D for type , TBB B107G for type, Leclerc/Kolsky 146 for type), most unusual and interesting, extremely rare (5).

Estimate: £500 - £700
