Spinaker,
For some reason not all have that detail this one exhibits, don't know why for sure but if you look at enough of them you will see it's true.
Bill I'm very happy you like it. It makes me feel good she is appreciated.
It will help me get over my remorse.
Terry I'll try for a closeup tomorrow.

I don't want to read too much into this but have you noticed the strong white hand is gripping the passive black hand? The native hand is being held by the master hand-symbolism of this kind is to be found on many coins/currency of the period.
French colonial issues always like to show the elegantly draped european allegorical figure with the simply dressed (usually lower-positioned) native, being being pointed towards a bright future.
