Des illustrateurs à Paris - 4 Gift boxes + invitation card - Étude Boisgirard

- Des illustrateurs à Paris - is a unique concept for an auction catalog in the form of a card game, published in the 1990s in limited edition prints by the auctioneer Claude Boisgirard and the comic book expert Frédéric Bosser. Instead of a book, each major sale (notably in 1993, 1995 and 1996) is given a limited edition cardboard box (mainly 800 copies) illustrated each time by a renowned illustrator (such as Benoît Jacques or Cathy Millet). --- The 4 boxes (cardboard cases) in gray, orange, blue and burgundy are in very good condition. They are all complete. The cards are in very good condition++. > Rare presence of very slightly bumped corners as well as a natural curvature of some cards (rare). > Presence of the price in francs (probably the adjudication price) in pencil on some of the cards. - Description of the condition of each box: > Red box: rare presence of very light scuffs on some of the corners. > Gray box: Slight to very slight discoloration of the paper on 3 of the corners + you can visibly see at the bottom of the box a slight excess of glue that bled or bled through during manufacture: no impact on the cards. They are all intact except for one card on which a brown stain is noticed (see photo). > Blue box: very, very light scuffs on some corners including one corner slightly more rubbed with a small tear extending from it. > Orange box: very good condition+. - Description of each of the 4 boxed sets (boxes): .
