- Leaves 11-42 are whimsical laid-in drawings in red and blue ink (158 x 124 mm) each with a postage size script laid in (24 x 26 mm) ranging from 105-1940 words [mots] in Duployé shorthand. Leaves 1-10 are the text in standard French each within a red and blue ink border. Date from leaf 27.
- This album is a naïve artwork, with each stamp mounted on a decorated panel with imaginary honours and awards for the writer's skill, and perhaps his own self-portrait. In the first image he shows himself shaking the hand of an elderly man, presumably a teacher, who wears a marvelous coat decorated in shorthand. He mentions his age in two of these image borders (23) and in several others he mentions the popular Duployé system of stenography in which the characters are written, named after its inventor Emile Duployé (1833-1913) Cf. http://www.justincroft.com/stock_item/824/stenography-lhuillier-henri-album-de-stenographie-microscopique
- The text is from : La Gazette sténographique de Seine-et-Marne : echo du Cercle Sténographique de Brie ; journal littéraire mensuel, 1878. Cf. leaf 18.
- The postage size scripts are in tiny Duployé shorthand, requiring a magnifying glass.
