According to Harry Rooke this set of 4 labels was prepared around 1923 by Girard & Bunino of Paris to
publicise an exhibition of paintings. They first appeared with the four se-tenant designs having values
of 5c, 10c, 15c & 25c. They came in various colors and then with values blacked out. A second issue
appeared with the values removed. I bought a sheet of these at the Paris bourse two years ago. They
were a lot larger then I expected and as I recall there were two or four sets on a page with very large
spacing in between. Unfortunately they were stolen in Rome. Beware the Train station in Rome! [Ed
