Sobre este artículo
Paris: Hachette, 1954. First edition. Fine.. First printing of this beautiful Babar entry, in which the animals celebrate the founding of the elephant town Célesteville, an exceptionally beautiful copy. The Babar series has delighted generations of young children around the world. The de Brunhoffs' simple and stylish art is widely praised for being "comprehensible and entertaining even if one didn't know the language" (Bader, 547). The Babar books set the tempo for all picture books that followed: their "large format, fine litho-printing and hand-written text" fueled the "visual triumph" (Whalley and Chester, 189) of the picture book in the 1930s.
The popularity of the Babar books among young readers means that many copies survive in, shall we say, a well-loved state. LA FÊTE DE CÉLESTEVILLE is quite difficult to obtain in fine condition as here. 14.25'' x 10.25''. Original yellow cloth-backed pictorial boards. Color pictorial endpapers of elephants against a blue background. Illustrated in color. 40 pages. Binding corners and spine ends with only a touch of bumping. Sharp.
