AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
For sale is an original printing plate/cliché (French-language) of Suske en Wiske the wild benefactor from 1961 (the album was published in 1962). It was No. 44 in the red series (uniform) and was released in the four-color series (which started with the coin-scooper as No. 67) as No. 104 in 1970.
It is a unique specimen; there is only one of each printing plate.
The strips appeared in the pre-publication in the newspaper in an elongated form, different from how they appeared in the album.
It depicts a very recognizable scene from the album with Lambik as a wild benefactor throwing money from the air. The commissioner accidentally gets a coin in his mouth.
Willy Vandersteen was still sketching the Suske en Wiske stories at that time, with the story itself being inked by Eduard de Rop. The album itself is not included; the photo of the half-page accompanying the printing plate is added solely for illustration purposes.
In 1961, al Jerom stories were prepublished for the square series, with the first album appearing in 1962.
Explanation: a negative was made from a Suske en Wiske drawing. This negative was placed on a metal plate on which a light-sensitive layer was applied. By exposing the negative, the light-sensitive layer hardens in those areas where the negative is transparent; where the negative is black, the layer remains soft. The plate was dipped in an acid bath. The acid eats away those parts of the metal plate where no hardened layer is present. As a result, these parts of the metal plate become lower; they do not print because they are not inked. The high parts remain intact and print.
A 'Suske en Wiske cliché' is such a beautiful, original metal printing plate on which the drawn Suske en Wiske illustration was applied as a negative image (i.e., mirror image), after which this printing plate was used to reproduce the drawing. See the scan of the final publication, which is purely for illustration purposes. Masterpiece.
The item will be shipped registered.
Shipping costs are for the buyer.
