AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Hergé - Era-appropriate typed letter signed by Hergé, who at that time still used his original name Georges Remi - Signature in black ink
The letter is typed and signed on paper headed 'Hergé dessinateur' - We are in 1944, just after the war, the Hergé Studios would not be established until 1950. The letter is addressed to Mr Charles Lesne, right-hand man to Mr Louis Casterman
The content of the letter concerns, on the one hand, a royalty payment where the friendly tone and closeness between the two men shines through. On the other hand, various directives and remarks from Hergé on three of his early albums: Tintin in the Congo, The Sceptre of Ottokar and finally The Blue Lotus
Dated November 7, 1944, attention is finally drawn to the reference at the bottom of the letter to Hergé's private address at the time
An exceptional document!
Very good condition - sun exposure on the top edge
