These are Brunhoff's own finished watercolours for the book, painted on the sheet with his handwritten text beneath.\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. Made to order on cotton-fibre archival paper at the one size the plate is cut to, with the mount and frame cut and finished by hand here.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Babar","offers":[{"title":"46cm x 46cm","offer_id":55497872572757,"sku":"BABAR054-M-46X46","price":71.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0886\/6414\/6261\/files\/gallery-0_f860e95f-7bc3-444d-b2d5-f62b56b97f7a.jpg?v=1792839898","url":"https:\/\/theposteredit.com\/en-intl\/products\/the-whale-le-voyage-de-babar-jean-de-brunhoff-babar-print","provider":"The Poster Edit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
