The sheet also includes a detailed biographical text on the right, tracing the main stages of the writer's life and work.

At the bottom, there is a reproduction of the associated stamp, also signed by Jacques Jubbert, as well as the impression of a "First Day" postmark dated February 23, 1985, in Clamecy, Romain Rolland's hometown. The whole is distinguished by its careful presentation on white paper, framed by a golden fillet that highlights the illustration and textual elements.

The sheet is presented in a three-hole punched sleeve, typical of CEF editions, facilitating its archiving in a philatelic binder. The catalog number "780" of the CEF is visible at the top left, while the copy number "2036" is indicated at the bottom left, attesting to a limited edition print run.
