Description from the seller
Paul Werrie – The Legend of Albert I, King of the Belgians – drawings by Hergé – Casterman (Paris–Tournai), large-format edition
A fictionalized biography of King Albert I, published in 1934 after the king’s death and illustrated by Hergé early in his career. The title page of this large-format edition reads “Foreword by Lieutenant General Pontus” and “Drawings by Hergé.”
Numerous vignettes by Hergé in a woodcut style, at the beginning of chapters and throughout the text (see photos: velodrome, sword, harbor, airplane, statue of the king…).
Red publisher’s boards, front cover illustrated with a photographic portrait of the king in a decorated frame, gilt title.
Condition: good, with signs of use. The boards are rubbed, with stains and wear to the corners and spine ends; the paper is yellowed, with a small handwritten inscription on the endpaper. The photos form part of the description.
A sought-after title among Hergé collectors beyond Tintin.
Carefully shipped from Belgium, packaged and tracked.
