Tintin Forums

I have a Tintin poster which my parent bought between 15 and 20 years ago in I believe Brussels. From what I know this is an original Hergé drawing, but I'm not sure.

I would like to know from which book it is.

This is the link to a photo that I took.
The writing is in French, and it says 748/1500 on the bottom.

It's from the unfinished "Thérmo-zero"-project:

Le ThermoZéro: Should it be released?

It is a lithograph which was produced in an edition of 1,500 copies by the Fondation Hergé in 1992, to mark the installation of a dedicated Hergé section in the Centre Belge de la Bande Dessinée (CBBD) in Brussels - the national cartoon museum, and always well worth a visit if you are in Brussels (although if you are like me, you may find that you end up in Belgium on Mondays, and Belgian museums tend to shut on Mondays...).
As a lithograph it isn't an actual drawing by Hergé, but a high-quality facsimile of a page he drew (in fact Hergé had died some years before the lithograph was produced).
It would be fair to say it is collectible, but given the large size of the edition (truly limited art prints are usually in far smaller editions - maybe ten or so, probably no more than fifty), and that it won't have been seen, let alone signed by the artist, it's definitely aimed at the Tintin fan rather than the art market.
A nice piece to have!

Many thanks for the information.

Nice to know that there used to be 1500 exact copies like this.
