?French Translation? and proper usage?

Hi, Stan (stainlessb ):

I checked on this question looking at online sources, and it looks like while Louis Fernez was the designer of the Marianne d'Alger stamp, Charles Hervé was the engraver.  I have some capability in French, but I also don't really understand the use of the word "report" in the context in which you have shown it.

Perhaps Xavier (hrdoktorx ) or René (renden ), who are native speakers can comment about that.

Hope this helps a little. 


Edit: a bit more reading of both French and English leads me to think that "report" refers to the idea of "transfer" of the design into an engraving for printing.  It has to do with the "realization" from a design done by one person (Fernez) into an engraved form by someone else (Hervé).  From Wikipedia:
This is where I found a French usage of "report" associated with the printing of stamps that leads me to think "transfer" in this case.

Thank you gentlemen- I thought it had something to do with the engraving of plates. Other issues use Gravure

when writing out a denomination, one centime, and 2 - 99 centimes (right?)

I Franc,, 1 Franc 40, 2 FrancS, 2 Franc _ 40 (?)  add the "s" at the end  when  no "change after"?  or does it really matter  ($2.25... Two dollars and twenty five cents or   Two and a quarter

I'm just trying to be consistent in making pages  ( I know I could simply indicate 1F 40... and move on...)

thanks
