AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Blake Bust – Leblon-Delienne – Test print / validation prototype – Unpainted white resin to be painted

Description

Rare bust of Francis Blake, an emblematic character from Blake and Mortimer created by Edgar P. Jacobs, produced by Leblon-Delienne.

This specimen has a notable peculiarity: it is in white resin, non-polychromed, and bears at its base the marking “ n° … / 777 ”, corresponding to the edition planned for the polychrome version, but with no individual number recorded.

This atypical configuration allows it to be presented as potentially a test print, a validation prototype or unpolished resin intended to be painted, prior to final commercial release.

An especially interesting piece for a Blake & Mortimer or Leblon-Delienne production collector, given its clearly divergent character from the commercially available, numbered copies.

Features

Character: Francis Blake
Universe: Blake & Mortimer
Creator: Edgar P. Jacobs
Publisher / manufacturer: Leblon-Delienne
Model year: 2004

Condition

Good overall condition with visible wear, scuffs and marks, notably on the face, mouth, neck and suit.
These characteristics may be consistent with a workshop piece or unfinished resin.
