AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

One of Rodolphe Töpffer’s classic illustrated narratives, often described as an early form of comic strip, or “littérature en estampes.”

Original soft covers are retained, now bound in to recent green hardback boards, with gilt title to spine. Soft covers are now laid on to Japon, so very nicely preserved.

88 pages - printed to recto only. In a very good and clean condition.

20 x 30 cm

Seller's Story

We are professional booksellers based in France, and have been members of ILAB for many years. We currently hold full membership of SLAM, as well as other organisations. We also sell at fairs and markets across Europe. We are often found at brocantes and marches, searching for books and prints. We are also always interested in acquiring new stock from individuals, so if you have books or prints to sell, do get in touch. We are proud to purchase biodegradable packaging and materials. Where possible, all of our book wrap and tape are compostable or re-cyclable. If you do receive any plastic bubble wrap from us - it is because we are re-using items we have received.
