Sobre este artículo
London: Hamish Hamilton, 1978. First edition. Hardback. Very Good. 12" by 8.5". Raymond Briggs. A first edition of Raymond Briggs' festive classic, The Snowman. The first edition of the work. Without dust wrapper, as issued. Collated complete. A Christmas classic, The Snowman wordlessly but evocatively tells the story of a young boy who builds a snowman, only for it to come to life at the stroke of midnight. The work is a canonical children's story, with the 1982 animated film version an annual fixture. A smart copy of a much-loved tale. In the original publisher's illustrated boards. Externally very smart with slight bumping to the extremities. Internally generally firmly bound, cords visible but no risk of detaching. Pages generally bright and clean with just the odd spot to the first and last few pages. Closed tears to three leaves, the largest of which being approximately six inches. Very Good
Sinopsis
Raymond Briggs was born in London in 1934. At the age of 15, he went to Wimbeldon Art School to learn how to draw, as he wanted to become a cartoonist. But there he was told that cartooning was not a profession for gentlemen and that he ought to be a painter. Raymond then went on to the Slade School in London to study painting as a full-time student. During his spare time, he began work on a portfolio of illustrations of all kinds, including jackets and a wide selection of drawings to take to publishers. After illustrating for advertising, newspapers and books, Raymond discovered that book illustration inspired him the most, since it offered far greater variety and freedom than anything else. Raymond has always found it unfavorable to sustain a consistent illustration style for a long period of time. He is always seeking to try something else new and different with his work. Some of Raymond's best known works are The Snowman , The Man , and The Bear . The setting for The Snowman is based on Raymond's own house and garden, which is in Sussex, England at the foot of South Downs, a few miles from Brighton.
