AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
• Title: The Machinist
• Publisher: Les Humanoïdes Associés (historic publishing house of Metal Hurlant).
• Context: Official greeting card published for the year 1979.
• Edition: Limited to 350 copies on Belkis paper (raisin format, about 50 × 65 cm).
Dedicated at the bottom center, Moebius produced an original pencil drawing representing Arzak (his emblematic character with the pointed hat), accompanied by a handwritten inscription signed in his own hand.
Traces of natural paper oxidation (slight foxing) and a light yellowing on the top/bottom margins.
• Print condition: The central colored area is well preserved. There are no scratches, scuffs, or ink loss.
• Foxing: Small brownish oxidation spots are visible in the white margins, particularly along the lower margin around the dedication and text.
• Yellowing / Insolation: The paper shows aging yellowing across all margins, with a slightly darker shading band on the upper margin.
Edges and corners
• Corners: The four corners are slightly rounded (slightly bumped or rounded by handling). There is no major crease crossing the image.
• Edges / Sides: Presence of light micro-scratches on the left edge.
Paper handling
• Wave/ warping: The raisin-format paper shows light natural waviness.
Overall condition
The artwork is in good overall conservation (grade B / B+) for paper dating from 1978/1979. The defects are confined to the outer margins and do not affect the central drawing or the pencil sketch.
