BOOKS & COMICS
The books evoke disciplines include specialties from different fields of textual scholarship, codicology, bibliography, philology, paleography, art history, social history and cultural history. Its main objective is to demonstrate that the book as an object, and not just the text it contains, is a channel of interaction between readers and words.
Before the evolution of printing, made famous by the Gutenberg Bible, each text was a unique handcrafted item, personalized with design features incorporated by the scribe, owner, bookbinder and illustrator. Analysis of each part of the book reveals its purpose, where and how it was kept, who read it, the ideological and religious beliefs of the time, and whether the readers interacted with the text
Bibliophiles and scholars, you can find your happiness at the heart of these auctions dedicated to books and manuscripts.
Our Old Books, Manuscripts and Autographs department is distinguished by the sale of important libraries, quality sets. Encyclopedia, scientific work, literature, review. They are also enriched by the auctioning of manuscripts, autographs and dedications.
We try to regularly present sales dedicated to the different styles and movements of this universe of collectors, ranging from classic Franco-Belgian authors to American Comics, including illustration and limited editions.
The European, American, and Japanese comics traditions have followed different paths. Europeans have seen their tradition as beginning with the Swiss Rodolphe Töpffer from as early as 1827 and Americans have seen the origin of theirs in Richard F. Outcault's 1890s newspaper strip The Yellow Kid, though many Americans have come to recognize Töpffer's precedence. Japan has a long history of satirical cartoons and comics leading up to the World War II era. The ukiyo-e artist Hokusai popularized the Japanese term for comics and cartooning, manga, in the early 19th century. In the 1930s Harry "A" Chesler started a comics studio, which eventually at its height employed 40 artists working for 50 different publishers who helped make the comics medium flourish in "the Golden Age of Comics" after World War II. In the post-war era modern Japanese comics began to flourish when Osamu Tezuka produced a prolific body of work.[6]Towards the close of the 20th century, these three traditions converged in a trend towards book-length comics: the comic album in Europe, the tankōbon in Japan, and the graphic novel in the English-speaking countries.
We try to find boards and albums of designers and illustrators who make the market trend. You will then benefit from selections of original plates, new albums and rare objects. You will also find in our comic book sales, the works of the greatest artists in the world of comics, whether historical or current.
