The letters are drawn in a tall classic roman and an elegant script, so each page reads as a picture and a piece of typography at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJean de Brunhoff (1899-1937) was a Paris painter who invented Babar from a bedtime story his wife Cécile told their two young sons. He painted the first book, Histoire de Babar, in 1931, and six more followed, the last two published after his death at 37. Printed large, in the generous album format he chose, with his own handwriting in place of type, they became some of the best-loved picture books ever made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReproduced from a high-resolution scan of an original page, with Brunhoff's colours left exactly as they were printed and nothing redrawn. Each print is made to order on cotton-fibre archival paper, then mounted with a wide even border and hand-framed in our workshop rather than sent out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Babar","offers":[{"title":"27cm x 37cm","offer_id":55497839083861,"sku":"BABAR012-M-27X37","price":34.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0886\/6414\/6261\/files\/gallery-0_516190fd-5935-4566-af80-8f871165bf03.jpg?v=1792839457","url":"https:\/\/theposteredit.com\/en-intl\/products\/alphabet-endpaper-q-to-z-abc-de-babar-jean-de-brunhoff-babar-print","provider":"The Poster Edit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
