Notes
Severin Wundermin who at the time was CEO of Corum wanted in collaboration with the city of Menton to open a Jean Cocteau Museum. The project to create these sets to be sold at there was initiated but unfortunately his untimely passing meant that it never happened and a limited number were produced far below the planned run of 2000 pieces.
