Michelin Spain–Portugal Guide, 1927 edition, original authenticity, in very good condition.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent and coveted Michelin Guide of Spain and Portugal corresponding to the legendary Edition VIII of the year 1927. An authentic historical piece and museum-worthy, essential for the most demanding collectors of the Red Guide and of the history of motoring in the Iberian Peninsula.
Importance of the guide and key collecting points:
Rare for the 1920s: Finding a guide from this decade in such optimal condition is highly unusual, which exponentially raises its value on the international auction market.
Illustrations of the "Smoker Bibendum": It contains the iconic and sought-after classic vignettes of the Michelin mascot (Bibendum) smoking a cigar (such as the spectacular illustration seated on the globe and the interior details). This graphic was withdrawn by the brand decades later, turning these copies into cult objects.
Total exclusivity - 4 Ribbon Bookmarks: Miraculously and exceptionally, this copy preserves its four original cloth bookmark ribbons intact (I can see two blue and two yellow). As delicate elements, in 95% of the guides of the period they are cut or missing; having all four impeccable is a true premium rarity.
Unfoldable Map in Excellent Condition: The volume includes its maps and urban plans from the era, highlighting the large original color fold-out road map, kept in magnificent condition and without the usual severe wear at the folds.
Condition: Excellent for its age. The yellow cloth cover remains clean, rigid, and with clear, bright typography. The spine is firm and the interior is complete, clean, and very well cared for.
Shipping: The lot will be well packaged and shipped with tracking by the transport company, with an international tracking number.
