Masson and Bissey’s 1903 Auction Costs: Two Accounts, One Total

Two companion records explain the costs associated with an adjudication act dated March 1, 1903. IMG_8436 gives detailed disbursements and professional fees; IMG_8437 allocates the same total between purchasers Monsieur Masson and Monsieur Bissey. Their matching names, components, and 1,086.95-franc total establish a strong accounting relationship. Whether the photographs show opposite sides of one physical leaf remains unproved.
