This French case layout is shown in Audin Histoire de l'imprimerie par l'image (1929) as La Casse Parisienne by Ed[mond] Morin. A somewhat similar lay is that of the École des Arts Décoratifs de Genève, and in use at the Ecomusée Voltaire, Genève in 2004, although that layout has the capitals in straight alphabetic order, for example, whereas Morin separates out J U and W. Morin's lay is very close to that of Muller (c.1910) but he omits the superiors and has more accented letters and has ff etc. ligatures in a different position. Muller does not sub-divide boxes, unlike Morin and Genève.

The empty case configuration is La Parisienne, and it has 115 boxes.
