Colours may vary very slightly from the sample photo as every computer monitor will be calibrated or set up differently. Also this was taken with a scanner so the distribution of colour might vary very slightly.
Thank you for your interest, please take time to look at my other listings.

Brunhoff (nÚe Sabouraud) invented for their children, Mathieu and Laurent, when they were four and five years old, respectively.
She was trying to comfort Mathieu, who was sick. The boys liked the story of the little elephant who left the jungle for a city resembling Paris so much that they took it to their father, a painter, and asked him to illustrate it.
He turned it into a picture book, with text, which was published by a family-run publishing house, Le jardin des modes. Originally, it was planned that the book's title page would describe the story as told by Jean and CÚcile de Brunhoff.
However, she had her name removed. Due to the role she played in the genesis of the Babar story, many sources continue to refer to her as the creator of the Babar story.
BABAR THE ELEPHANT Print.
A delightful, original book plate print rescued from a broken copy of Jean De Brunhoff's classic children's story - "The Adventures of Babar".
This vintage print is in good condition with no creases, marks or foxing and the colors remain as bright and vivid as the day they were printed!
The page measures 190.2 x 270 mm externally.
The print(s) comes inside a (alkali free) clear sealed polythene bag and is sent in a hard backed, "please do not bend" envelope.
There is a image(s) printed on the reverse side. The image(s) are faintly visible through the front of the print, I shall send a blank piece of dark paper when you order, to put behind the print, if it is to be matted and or framed e.t.c.
