This is the original Casterman Belgian (French) 1st Colour Collectors Edition. Rare and collectible book.
After the colorization of the first titles published in black and white, the 4th album of The Adventures of Tintin, Cigars of the Pharaoh, was soon to be published. This 4th album incorporates a new color palette inspired by the artistic spirit that guided the coloring of the old films, respecting the black lines and the flat areas drawn and placed by Hergé. A new form of expression for the characteristic and exuberant environments of the jungle, the deserts or the Egyptian frescoes.
