Forton, Gérald - 1 Original page - Vidocq - 1955

Extremely Rare & Very large Vidocq page by Gérald Forton - impossible to find. Page has a whopping 60 x 42 cm., is not in perfect condition (duh...), but quite good given it is almost 71 years old. A small part from the bottom is missing (not in the art) - a bit more serious is the folding in the width; at the sides it is a bit ripped, a few cm. into the art. I think both sides, but 1 side is repaired from the back. In general good condition; rip is straight and easy to repair; the folding is not very visible. Page is colored on the backside. Gérald Forton only drew two short comic stories featuring Vidocq in 1955 for the magazine Spirou. These were part of the long-running historical educational series Les Belles Histoires de l'Oncle Paul. "La Rédemption de Vidocq" (The Redemption of Vidocq): Published in issue #882 on March 10, 1955. "Le Père de la police moderne" (The Father of Modern Police): Published in issue #883 on March 17, 1955. I don't which story this page is from. If you either want to complete your Forton and/or Vidocq collection; this might me your only opportunity; I only have 1 of these....
