Description from the seller
A unique opportunity for the serious collector of satire, press freedom, and graphic art. This lot contains a monumental archive of 711 copies of the legendary magazine Charlie Hebdo, founded by François Cavanna and Professor Choron.
The core of the collection:
The early years (1971, 1972 and 1973) are present in duplicate:
One copy of each issue is bound in the original collector’s volumes (perfect for preservation and reference).
A second, loose copy of each issue is present in excellent condition (unfolded).
Decorative value:
Because the early years are duplicated, the loose copies can be framed. With the more than 150 covers from the first three years alone, you could fill a wall of about 16 square meters with iconic art from luminaries such as Reiser, Cabu, and Wolinski.
Details of the lot:
Complete years: 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974 and 1977.
Large series (incomplete): 1975 through 1981, 1992 and 1993 (see list for missing issues).
Condition: The newspapers are in very good condition, not worn (as originally issued) and very well preserved.
Shipping:
Note: this is a very heavy lot that will be shipped in 3 sturdy boxes to ensure quality.
An extraordinary time capsule that brings to life the history of freedom of expression and sharp French satire.
