The red wax stamp with a lyre in the centre is most likely a reference to Charles Renouvin (Caudebec 1814 - ?) poet (La poésie des fleurs), essayist (La tête humaine, étude illustrée de phrénologie et de physionomie appliquée aux hommes célèbres, 1873)) and man of letters (Poésie de l'art et des lettres, 1872).
