AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original plate 25 from "Cliffhanger"
GORGEOUS ORIGINAL PAGE! I like drawing oldtimers, but the strip Franka takes place in the present, so I dream up schemes. Franka's stepfather Ben is, for example, an antique car dealer, and here the setting is an old-car festival at a museum garage. The goal of such a plot-attracting group of classic cars is, of course, a car race. But here in a category that is almost literally overlooked: the post-war microcar!
If after 1945 the wartime poverty gradually vanishes, it takes almost everyone until 1955 for money to arrive for a "real" car, such as a Volkswagen, for example. That transport gap was filled in those ten years by bicycles, scooters, tricycles, and ultra-cheapest tiny four-wheeled cars.
Here a Rollera (one wheel for two, rear, folding roof) chases an Inter (two wheels front, one rear, cabin folding roof). Both have one headlight.
PAGE: a very beautiful page full of classic cars, large central panel, 50x40 cm, signed
The winner of this lot also receives a special color print, produced for this auction in an edition of 150 unnumbered copies, on A4 size, signed by Henk Kuijpers. The original of this print is also in this auction (see lot 150).
