Une petite perle\u2026<\/p>\n

Pour tout collectionneur d\u2019albums de Herg\u00e9, quoi de plus prestigieux qu\u2019un exemplaire ayant servi de base de travail aux ateliers d\u2019impression, et provenant de surcro\u00eet de la biblioth\u00e8que personnelle de Monsieur Louis-Robert Casterman ?<\/p>\n

Cet album est non seulement unique, mais aussi historique et voici pourquoi.<\/p>\n

En 1941, la guerre fait rage.<\/p>\n

En Belgique occup\u00e9e, l\u2019imprimerie Casterman souffre d\u2019une p\u00e9nurie constante de papier, et la moindre \u00e9conomie compte.<\/p>\n

1941 voit para\u00eetre les\u00a0toutes derni\u00e8res \u00e9ditions en noir et blanc dites \u00ab petites images \u00bb. En 1942, tous les albums de Tintin (\u00e0 l’exception des Soviets) seront imprim\u00e9s une derni\u00e8re fois en noir et blanc, avec un dessin couvrant l’enti\u00e8ret\u00e9 de la couverture : ce sont les A18, les fameuses\u00a0\u00ab grandes images \u00bb. Ce tirage incarne la transition vers\u00a0les \u00e9ditions en quadrichromie, dont les premiers volumes para\u00eetront quelques mois plus tard.<\/p>\n

Pour pr\u00e9parer ces \u00e9ditions de transition, les \u00e9quipes de l\u2019imprimerie travaillaient sur des albums existants afin d\u2019en r\u00e9aliser des maquettes.\u00a0Il fallait revoir essentiellement la pagination et les couvertures. Pour Les Cigares du Pharaon et Le Sceptre d’Ottokar, Herg\u00e9 imagina des couvertures totalement in\u00e9dites.<\/p>\n

Certains exemplaires choisis pour ce travail \u00e9taient d\u2019une importance particuli\u00e8re et c\u2019est pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment le cas de ce Tintin au Congo\u00a0 \u00ab petite image \u00bb.<\/p>\n

Toujours dans une logique d\u2019\u00e9conomie, les employ\u00e9s de l\u2019imprimerie ont puis\u00e9 directement dans la biblioth\u00e8que de Louis Casterman, leur employeur, afin de disposer d\u2019un support fiable et complet en vue de pr\u00e9parer la maquette du cahier de la future \u00e9dition \u00ab\u00a0grande image\u00a0\u00bb de la m\u00eame aventure.<\/p>\n

Un choix pour le moins inattendu\u2026 mais visiblement tr\u00e8s pratique !<\/p>\n

Ainsi, cette \u00ab petite image \u00bb du Congo A14, r\u00e9f\u00e9renc\u00e9 A101, est abondamment annot\u00e9e (peut-\u00eatre par Herg\u00e9 lui-m\u00eame ?) d\u00e8s le premier plat sur trois lignes, et sur toutes les pages.<\/p>\n

Sur le premier plat (photo n\u00b03 ), \u00e0 la premi\u00e8re ligne, on peut lire : \u00ab T. 116\/112 \u00bb. \u00ab 116 \u00bb fait r\u00e9f\u00e9rence au nombre de pages total noir et blanc imprim\u00e9 du A14 ; la future \u00e9dition A18 en comptera 112.<\/p>\n

Sur la deuxi\u00e8me ligne : \u00ab\u00a0H.T 8\u00a0\u00bb, pour huit pages de hors-texte (recto-verso). Le nombre de hors-texte couleur ne changera pas entre les deux \u00e9ditions, 4.<\/p>\n

Enfin, sur la troisi\u00e8me ligne : \u00ab 124 pages\/120pages \u00bb. 124 pages pour l\u2019\u00e9dition A14 en comptabilisant les hors-texte ; 120 pages (en rouge) pour la nouvelle \u00e9dition A18 avec les hors-texte.<\/p>\n

( Attention \u00e0 ne pas confondre le nombre de pages imprim\u00e9es et la pagination ).<\/p>\n

Sur la page de titre, le 20e mille est barr\u00e9 pour \u00eatre remplac\u00e9 par le\u00a0\u00ab\u00a030e\u00a0\u00bb, qui correspond au cahier des A18.<\/p>\n

Dans l\u2019ensemble du cahier,\u00a0la num\u00e9rotation des pages est revue en bas de chacune d’elles.<\/p>\n

Dans l\u2019atelier d\u2019imprimerie, le vacarme des machines r\u00e9sonnait, les mains des ouvriers \u00e9taient noircies d\u2019encre et chaque geste se faisait dans l\u2019urgence du plein r\u00e9gime. Cet exemplaire en porte encore les empreintes..<\/p>\n

Entre la premi\u00e8re garde volante et la page de titre ont \u00e9t\u00e9 gliss\u00e9es par un ouvrier deux \u00e9preuves d\u2019imprimerie de la page de titre qui \u00e9tait \u00e0 venir..<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
