Vette also means bold, you’re right, and that meaning is more probable in commerce - who wants to pay extra for more ink, unless you’re going for the expensive look…

Annonce is also a Dutch word - from the French indeed, and it means
either ‘advertisement’ or announcement’ (for births, deaths, marriages etc).

The Netherlands was occupied by France from 1795 to 1813.

A vette/fat advertisement means that the ink was laid on thickly on the paper. A fat blob of ink, I guess!

Vette also means bold.
So thats probably what it it means here.
Also vette is a Dutch word while Annonce is a french one.
What’s a fat advertisment anyway:D
