Hergé (1907-1983)

Schermafbeelding 2020-04-27 om 10.39.40

Hergé is Georges Prsoper Remi and deserves a well earned place among the greatest of artists from the last century. His Kuifje/Tintin albums have been translated in over 40 languages and have sold hundreds of millions all over the world. It is still a true delight to read once in a while these great adventure stories and after reading these i realize that the amount of detail which is drawn on every page of the story is tremendous,

making these not only great stories but also travel journals in which everyday life from a certain decade in an exotic country was depicted. Since i admire Hergé very much and i think together with Franquin and Swarte this is the best comic art can present i have collected a number of albums and Hergé collectibles of which some are available at www.ftn-books.com. The latest addition is an official bag by ther Moulinsart Museum.

A few years ago there was a special exhibition on Chanel at the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag. On the occasion several items were published. There was a catalogue, a poster and a special cotton bag. The last two items are now available at www.ftn-books.com.

There was also the Irma Boom / Chanel book of which the museumshop had a few copies, but these sold out within a few days even thought their price was HIGH!

The bag however is the original exhibition bag which was made specially for this occasion. A nice bag with the silhouette of Coco Chanel. A highly collectable item for sale at www.ftn-books.com
