HERGÉ Lot n° 240

Original watercolor on print for this double page 17 and 18 of the Black Island. Colorization realized at the request of Hergé for the editions that will appear from 1943. A four-handed work, where Hergé is accompanied by his first collaborator, Alice Devos. Many documents issued by the authentication committee attest to this. An important part of the adventure relates Tintin's meeting with the dangerous Doctor Müller. Prisoner in the villa, Tintin manages to get out of his bonds. A fight breaks out with Müller, who throws a flaming log at him. Chased through the house, Tintin faints because of the bottle of chloroform broken by a gunshot. 40x29,8cm
