AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Original back cover "Klifhanger"
Franka slides in a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette C3 along a French shipyard. She follows the river to the Breton town Kerr Brekk. This version is the original, as I drew it, intended as the back of the softcover.
But the plate is also used as page zero of the story as published in the EPPO. Here is how it goes:
I make my story as "double spreads" because I think the reader experiences it the way it is offered when turning the page. So as a total of two pages side by side. In practice that means I take into account the page layout, the plot of the narrative part, and the mutual influence of two adjacent plates, for example 2 and 3. Now it is necessary that in book form the story starts on page 1, which is always on the right, so you need an extra left-hand page in a sheet if you also want the forest layout of 34 in the page deliveries! So hence in the sheet a page zero, in the form of a kind of "splash page", which I then create by modifying an illustration that is still needed for the book edition!
Beautiful image, by the way.! The softcover of KLIFHANGER is included, so judge for yourself!

Plate: ink on drawing cardboard 42x35 cm, signed
book: softcover KLIFHANGER, 2024, 52 pages, Uitgeverij Franka, signed

The winner of this lot also receives, for this auction in an edition of 150 unnumbered, a special color print on A4 format, signed by Henk Kuijpers. The original of this print is also in this auction (see lot 150).
