AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Jan van Oort (1921 - 2006) designed the comic character Paulus the Boskabouter during World War II, whose adventures have been published in Het Vrije Volk since 1946. Van Oort called himself 'Jean Dulieu' (the French translation of 'Jan van Oort').
Besides 8,000 newspaper publications, Paulus appeared in color in numerous magazines and children's books (published in translation in many countries). The watercolors Dulieu created for this purpose are each and every one a small work of art.
Dulieu was a jack of all trades, a versatile and virtuoso artist whose skill and talent kept pace with his pursuit of perfection. Jean Dulieu received many awards for his work and is considered part of the "Big Three": Marten Toonder, Hans G. Kresse, and Jean Dulieu. Jan van Oort (1921 - 2006) designed the comic character Paulus de Boskabouter during World War II, whose adventures have been published in Het Vrije Volk since 1946. Van Oort called himself "Jean Dulieu" (French translation of "Jan van Oort").
Ultimately, between 1946 and 1984, approximately 8,000 daily strips were created at intervals. In addition to those newspaper publications, Paulus appeared in color in a large number of magazines and children's books (translated and published in many countries). Jean Dulieu received many awards for his work and is considered one of the 'Big Three': Marten Toonder, Hans G. Kresse, and Jean Dulieu.
In the 1950s, the famous publisher v.d. Peet released a small folder with wall panels featuring Paul. The panels depicted beautiful watercolor illustrations from Paul and Wawwa the elephant. The wall panels measure 21.8 x 15.7 cm and are printed on very thin paper, making them extremely fragile and, consequently, very rare. I have never seen these offered before.
This lot features such a beautiful wall plaque depicting Paulus and Wawwa in the dark forest. The wall plaque is still in the frame like the one hanging in a child's room in the 1950s (without glass). The frame measures 31 x 23.8 cm.
Please see the photos that are part of the description. The image of the front of the folder (image 4) is for illustration purposes only and is not included in this lot.
The wall panel is packaged with maximum protection and sent to the new owner by registered mail.
