Each plate is signed with the artist's monogram “AR” and features French-language text detailing the historical context on the reverse, along with the Henri D'Arceau Limoges France backstamp and production number. Henri D'Arceau & Fils was known for producing museum-quality collector plates and collaborated with skilled artists and historians. This limited series celebrates Lafayette’s unique position as both a French nobleman and a hero of American independence.
