Herge 10 Collection Set of 9 watercolor prints + one gift more - 1944- high quality images
Prints on Bristol board made by Studios Hergé in 1944, colored with a stencil, for a coaster project bearing the image of Tintin. Framed. Prints for the albums: Tintin in the Congo, Tintin in America, The Broken Ear, The Black Island, Ottokar's Scepter, The Crab with the Golden Claws, The Mysterious Star, Red Rackham's Treasure and Tintin world map.
Original size 23x17.5 cm at 450 dpi ready to print
Accepts prints up to 90x65 cm (35" x 25") in excellent resolution
Some collectors make an effort to collect them, others neglect them, believing – wrongly – that they are studio works, or even counterfeit pieces. However, these prints were designed in 1943 and produced immediately after the war, that is, during the “high period” of Hergé's work.
A little flashback. In 1942, Hergé met a certain Bernard F. Thiéry, who suggested that he leave his business concerns to him to better dedicate himself to his creations. The designer is about to launch the famous “Snow Cards” on the market. His work continues unabated and he has no shortage of projects. Therefore, he accepts the offer they make and hires Thiéry as his exclusive agent. The first license he granted (in Hergé's name) would be numbered 49 TBF: it was the famous Dubreucq Puzzles.
The story of the so-called “watercolors” is all the more worth telling because they must have been objects marketed “directly” by the designer, and not a license granted to a third party. In January 1943, Hergé explained to Thiéry his desire to create and distribute coasters with the image of Tintin. The agent was not enthusiastic. In these times of restrictions, he should get glass and shape it. Not to mention the problems involved in wrapping, packing and transporting such fragile objects.
After reflection, Thiéry suggested to Hergé that he create a cover of ten to twelve drawings, printed in lines and colored, either by hand or with stencils. Hergé found the idea interesting and first thought of reusing the drawings he was busy making for the puzzles in this way. But, due to lack of time to complete them, the thing will remain there. The idea, however, is not abandoned. In the autumn of 1944, that is, just after the discontinuation of 7 Boules de Cristal in Le Soir (after the Liberation of Brussels), Hergé began to work on the twelve drawings that he had imagined for "his" coasters of he.
Standardized compositions that present Tintin and Snowy in characteristic attitude and clothing, in front of a fragment of landscape inscribed in a square. Each of these drawings (which in their own way announce the Voir et Savoir cards) illustrates one of the episodes of Tintin's adventures.
What are the themes? There remains uncertainty about three of them, of which no trace has been found so far. However, we observed that at this time there were eight episodes in black and white (from Tintin in the Congo to The Crab with the Golden Claws) and two in color (The Mysterious Star and The Secret of the Unicorn) in bookstores. In addition, the album on Le Trésor de Rackham le Rouge is being prepared, the pre-release of which on Le Soir was completed a year earlier. Therefore, it is more than likely that Hergé illustrated these eleven titles.
