Corto Maltese and Rasputin monochrome bookends - Leblon Deli - Lot 62

Corto Maltese and Rasputin monochrome bookends - Leblon Delienne This set of collector's bookends, published in 1991, is an exceptional work capturing the fraternal duel and tumultuous friendship between Corto Maltese and Rasputin. The fruit of a collaboration between the Leblon Delienne workshops and the world of Hugo Pratt, these resin pieces are distinguished by a monochrome treatment of great elegance, underlining the power of the line and the dramatic contrast characteristic of the author. The sculpture renders with melancholy precision the elongated silhouettes of the two sailors, leaning against their respective books. This edition is extremely rare, with a limited edition of just 100 copies, making it a museum piece for adventure comics enthusiasts. Delivered in their original white box, the bookends are accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity, guaranteeing their exclusive and historic character. A prestigious library accessory that embodies the spirit of adventure and Pratt's timeless aesthetic.
