Las joyas de la Castafiore

At the beginning of the sixties, The Adventures of Tintin began to achieve success. Hergé, who was beginning to pay special attention to contemporary art, decided to break creative norms and do something surprising. And he got it. This is how The Castafiore Jewels was born. Before conceiving the definitive album edition, known throughout the world, the cartoonist had prepared a first version published in the magazine Tintin, whose originals had been dormant in the archives for 60 years. Restored with care and thoroughness, these documents allow us today to show the public The Jewels of Castafiore as it appeared in its entirety, between 1961 and 1962, in the weekly magazine for young people from 7 to 77 years old.
