Madagascar came under formal French protectorate status in 1885 and was declared a colony in 1896, but the Banque de Madagascar's note-issuing apparatus was already functioning before annexation was complete — this issue spans that awkward transitional period when the bank's authority on the ground was still being consolidated against a backdrop of military campaigns and administrative reorganization.
Léveillé was among the most accomplished intaglio engravers working for the Banque de France in the late nineteenth century, and his involvement signals that this was treated as a prestige printing commission, not a routine colonial job.
