The first trace of what will be called \u201csnow cards'' dates from February 4th, 1942. That day,
Herg\u00e9 wrote to Alice Devos, the wife of his friend Jos\u00e9 De Launoit, who was his partner in the epic.
from the Atelier Herg\u00e9 around 1934. It was Alice who thought of Tintin for Photopress, a company that
publishes postcards and calendars in Uccle in the Brussels region.<\/p>

On 5 February, Herg\u00e9 travelled by train to Casterman in Tournai to meet his publisher and Charles Lesne, his local contact since 1934. For the occasion, he was offered the chance to convert his albums, which had previously been printed in black & white, into 64-page colour versions, including the first ones, for which he would have to revise the format.<\/p>

This challenge forced him to review his working methods. He immediately considered hiring Edgar P. Jacobs, but turned down the offer in view of his current production for Rayon U. That left Alice, whom he hired on 15 March. Her role? Colourist and commercial agent.<\/p>

At the end of March, Herg\u00e9 began negotiations on the agreement that would finally be signed on 17 April with Kurt B\u00e4hrens, the German director of Photopress, for a three-year period. But Herg\u00e9, overburdened by the reworking of L'Oreille Cass\u00e9e and his weekly work for Le Soir, where he published Le Secret de la Licorne, was dragging his feet on the postcard order. Finally, in August, the idea of 25 snow cards was decided and the Brussels firm Verstegen was chosen to print the drawings in eight-colour offset, which still had to be composed to honour the contract.<\/p>

Le 17 August 1942<\/strong>, In a letter to B\u00e4hrens, Herg\u00e9 explains that \u00abthe story of the Chevalier de Hadoque's exploits against the pirate Rackham le Rouge\" has become a daily feature in Le Soir.\u00ab the drawings should be ready in ten days or so<\/strong><\/em> \u00bb.<\/p>

175,000 cards Merry Christmas and Happy New Year<\/strong>, A total of 7,000 of each design (5,000 in French and 2,000 in Flemish, since Belgium is bilingual) will be printed and put on sale from 3 December in all good bookshops in Belgium. From then on, Herg\u00e9, as busy as ever, entrusted all his merchandising to his exclusive agent, Bernard Thi\u00e8ry. Thi\u00e8ry developed the famous \u00abT.B.F.\u00bb licences for puzzles, blocks, toys, calendars, colouring books, etc.<\/p>

On 20 June 1944, Herg\u00e9 once again wrote to B\u00e4hrens asking for his 25 drawings back. But B\u00e4hrens was slow to reply, and when Brussels was liberated on 3 September, all trace of the 25 illustrations was lost...<\/p>

Last but not least, a number of snow cards were reissued by Casterman in the early 1950s, before becoming collectors' items hunted down by several generations of collectors.<\/p>

Lost? Yes, but not forever, as they made their way back into the collection of Roger Gosset (another R.G.), the Belgian tobacco magnate who owned Saint-Michel cigarettes. He died in
1991 when he had just shown his treasure to St\u00e9phane Steeman during his visit to the exhibition All Herg\u00e9<\/em> in Welkenraedt, where the latter was organising a resounding exhibition of his famous Tintinophile collection. Steeman recounts this furtive appearance in \u00abHerg\u00e9 autrement\u00bb, his collector's memoirs published by Luc Pire twelve years later.<\/p>

25 years later, 22 of them are on sale at Artcurial, three others having been sold elsewhere two years earlier (Galerie Moderne & Christie's). A unique opportunity to buy one of the best samples of Herg\u00e9's ligne claire.<\/p>

La premi\u00e8re trace de ce qu\u2019on appellera les \u00ab cartes neige \u00bb date du 4 f\u00e9vrier 1942. Ce jour-l\u00e0,Herg\u00e9 \u00e9crit \u00e0 Alice Devos, l\u2019\u00e9pouse de son ami Jos\u00e9 De Launoit qui fut son associ\u00e9 dans l\u2019\u00e9pop\u00e9ede l\u2019Atelier Herg\u00e9 vers 1934. C\u2019est Alice qui a song\u00e9 \u00e0 Tintin pour Photopress, une firme quis\u2019occupe d\u2019\u00e9diter des cartes postales et des calendriers \u00e0 Uccle en r\u00e9gion bruxelloise. Le 5 f\u00e9vrier, Herg\u00e9 se rend en train chez Casterman \u00e0 Tournai pour y rencontrer son \u00e9diteur et Charles Lesne, son contact sur place depuis 1934. Pour l\u2019occasion, on lui propose de passer ses albums imprim\u00e9s jusque-l\u00e0 en noir & blanc en version de 64 pages couleur, en ce compris les premiers dont il devra revoir le format. Ce challenge qui lui est impos\u00e9 va l\u2019obliger \u00e0 revoir sa m\u00e9thode de travail. Imm\u00e9diatement il songe \u00e0 engager Edgar P. Jacobs qui d\u00e9clinera la proposition vu sa production du moment pour le Rayon U. Reste Alice, qu\u2019il engagera le 15 mars. Son r\u00f4le ? Coloriste & agent commerciale. D\u00e8s la fin mars, Herg\u00e9 entame des tractations autour de la convention qui sera finalement sign\u00e9e le 17 avril avec l\u2019allemand Kurt B\u00e4hrens, le directeur de Photopress, pour une dur\u00e9e de trois ans. Mais Herg\u00e9, surcharg\u00e9 par la refonte entam\u00e9e de L\u2019Oreille Cass\u00e9e en parall\u00e8le de sa production hebdomadaire dans le journal Le Soir o\u00f9 il publie Le Secret de la Licorne, traine pour donner une suite \u00e0 cette commande de cartes postales. C\u2019est finalement en ao\u00fbt que l\u2019id\u00e9e de 25 cartes neige est arr\u00eat\u00e9e et que le bruxellois Verstegen est retenu pour proc\u00e9der \u00e0 l’impression en offset huit couleurs des dessins qui devront encore \u00eatre compos\u00e9s pour honorer ce contrat. Le 17 ao\u00fbt 1942, alors qu\u2019il raconte chaque jour son feuilleton qui en est arriv\u00e9 dans Le Soir aux exploits du Chevalier de Hadoque en prise avec le pirate Rackham le Rouge, Herg\u00e9 pr\u00e9cise dans une lettre envoy\u00e9e \u00e0 B\u00e4hrens que \u00ab la mise au net des dessins devrait \u00eatre termin\u00e9e dans une dizaine de jours \u00bb. 175.000 cartes Joyeux No\u00ebl et Bonne Ann\u00e9e, bilingues fran\u00e7ais-flamand en huit couleurs, seront ainsi imprim\u00e9es (7.000 de chaque motif; 5.000 en fran\u00e7ais et 2.000 en flamand, la Belgique \u00e9tant bilingue) et mises en vente d\u00e8s le 3 d\u00e9cembre dans toutes les bonnes librairies de Belgique. On peut consid\u00e9rer qu’il s’agit des premiers objets d\u00e9riv\u00e9s des albums.A partir de ce moment-l\u00e0, Herg\u00e9, toujours aussi d\u00e9bord\u00e9, confiera le suivi de tout son merchandising \u00e0 son agent exclusif engag\u00e9 pour la cause, un certain Bernard Thi\u00e8ry. Ce dernier d\u00e9veloppera les fameuses licences \u00ab\u00a0T.B.F.\u00a0\u00bb pour les puzzles, jeu de cubes, jouets, calendriers, albums \u00e0 colorier, etc… Le 20 juin 1944, Herg\u00e9 \u00e9crit une fois de plus \u00e0 B\u00e4hrens pour lui demander ses 25 dessins en retour. Mais ce dernier tarde \u00e0 lui faire suivre, et finalement la lib\u00e9ration de Bruxelles le 3 septembre fera perdre toute trace de ces 25 illustrations… Pour finir, certaines cartes neige connurent une r\u00e9\u00e9dition assur\u00e9e par Casterman d\u00e8s le d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 50, avant de devenir des collectors chass\u00e9s par plusieurs g\u00e9n\u00e9rations de collectionneurs. Perdues ? Oui mais pas pour toujours, puisqu\u2019elles feront leur retour dans la collection de Roger Gosset (un autre R.G.), magnat belge des tabacs, propri\u00e9taire des cigarettes Saint-Michel. Ce dernier d\u00e9c\u00e9da en1991 alors qu\u2019il venait de montrer son tr\u00e9sor \u00e0 St\u00e9phane Steeman lors de sa visite \u00e0 l’exposition Tout Herg\u00e9 de Welkenraedt o\u00f9 ce dernier organisait l\u2019exposition retentissante de sa c\u00e9l\u00e8bre collection de tintinophile.
