François Schuiten, author of “Les Cités obscures”, reveals to us a new side of Brussels. Through his drawings, accompanied by itineraries written by Christine Coste, for the Lonely Planet travel guide collection, he shows us the hidden side of his hometown and place of residence, that city where past and present realities intertwine, where urban poetry rises up from the corner of an alley.
Forgotten figures of the city, architectural incongruities, the passions of its inhabitants… this is the entire history of Brussels and its metamorphoses, which serve as the grid for the walks in this new travel guide.
This is one of the original drawings created for this guide, which is offered to you here.
This is what François Schuiten has said about it:

“I’m not really fond of doing work for order, because I need a long gestation period before I begin to get the feel for the design of the project. But this proposition really interested me because Lonely Planet is a leader among guidebooks. The collaboration with specialized journalist Christine Coste allowed me to use these mechanisms to make this book both practical, interesting, incisive, relevant and evocative. I really wanted to unlock the secrets of the city, and of course, Brussels imposed itself directly, but I wanted to address it in a less fictionalized way than l had before…”

Here, then, is an emblematic piece, not only because it is a drawing by a master of the 9th art, but also because it’s  the image of a city that will endure through time.
