Unique and extremely rare dédicace by Hergé probably from the 70s, but possibly earlier. Format 5 x 13 cm. Hergé especially created this pretty elaborate smoking Haddock with a special greeting, for Tom Gutt. Such a dédicace has not been previously reported. Hergé usually created the heads of Tintin and Bobbie as a dédicace. This is a (one-off?) Exception. The dédicace contains the following text: "A Tom Gutt, Cordialement, Mille Sabords!" (For Tom Gutt, Greetings, Thousand bombs!) Drawings of Hergé are priceless. This is a unique opportunity to get a hold of a drawing by Hergé. The drawing was made for the album "Coke en Stock" in 1958 and is a first edition. The album is in fair condition. Tom Gutt is a Belgian writer and publisher, born in Woking (England), July 2nd, 1941. Tom Gutt is the grandson of the Minister of Finance Camille Gutt. In 1945 he returned to Brussels.
