Description from the seller
Rare set of two original Offset printing plates - TINTIN (Hergé) - The Blue Lotus & The Crab with the Golden Claws.
Authentic offset printing plates in aluminum that were used to print Tintin albums at Casterman editions.
RARE technical objects, witnesses to the production process of the Franco-Belgian comic (estimated period 1960-1980).
The set includes :
1. The Blue Lotus (page 3): Black plate (line and text). Mythical scene with the fakir and the arrival of the Shanghai messenger.
2. The Crab with the Golden Claws (page 3): Black plate. Cult humorous scene of the Dupondts at a cafe terrace with counterfeit money.
Technical characteristics :
Material: soft aluminum
Condition: "in their post-print condition".
The plates are curved (preserved shape of the rotary press cylinder), which attests to their authentic use. Some traces of handling and dried ink that add character to the object.

These pieces are IDEAL for a Tintinophile collector or for high-end industrial/vintage decoration (magnificent display under a frame).
Fast and careful shipping.
