AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original vintage print, concerning Tintin panel No. 7 from the color edition of the comic "Les Cigares du Pharaon" (1955).
Single panel released and officially stamped on the back by Hergé's studio in Belgium for the Italian Museum of Comics, which later closed.
The panel bears important and evident notes and pre-press modifications in blue pencil, used to highlight additions, probably made by Hergé himself.
From the attached analyses by the expert appraiser commissioned to verify this panel, there are areas and changes traced with ink.
Recently, the Hergé Foundation confirmed its provenance from the studio, and that it would appear to be a probable pre-press test. The stamp on the back confirms its authenticity.
Bottom left shows an erasure of a probable inscription with technical details or perhaps a dedication.
The panel had been glued at the corners onto a black cardboard; the lower part has been detached to verify the authenticity of the stamp.
Various images and details have been published, some scanned and others photographed.
The dimensions of this panel are 40 x 28.7 cm
