The image below was taken from an available composite scan of several Auction lots
prepared for use in an issue of "Haiti Philately" in 2005. The scanning resolution was lower than is now
normally used, so the Lot is not shown in the same size experienced in subsequent years so as to minimize visual
distortion for you the viewer. A note from the Society Auctioneer may also be seen in the scan on a peelable sticker. We have chosen to include this image as a historic record that this card exists and was offered in this particular
Society auction.
