French enameled administrative plaque relating to the licensing system established by the law of September 24, 1941, during the Second World War. This system strictly regulated commercial operating permits under the Vichy regime, particularly in sectors subject to administrative control. The clean design, with a red diagonal band and standard typography, is characteristic of official documents from the early 1940s. An authentic piece of administrative signage, it provides direct evidence of the economic and legislative organization of the Occupation period.
