Willy Vandersteen - 1 cliché/printing plate - Suske en...

For sale is an original printing plate/cliché (French-language) of Suske and Wiske the kwakstralen from 1962 (the album appeared in 1963). It was no. 47 in the red series (same format) and was released in the four-color series (which began with the Poenschepper as no. 67) as no. 99 in 1969. It is a unique specimen; there is only one per printing plate. The strips appeared at the time in the newspaper prepublication in elongated form, different from how they appeared in the album. It concerns a highly recognizable scene from the album, the lower half of the opening page. Siske and Wiske are playing with a radiographic aircraft and Lambik takes over .... Willy Vandersteen sketched the Suske en Wiske stories at the time, the story itself was inked by Eduard de Rop. The album itself is not included; the photo of the page belonging to the printing plate is added purely for illustration. It is only about the printing plate for this lot. Explanation: a negative was made from a Suske en Wiske drawing. This negative was laid on a metal plate on which a light-sensitive layer was applied. By exposing the negative, the light-sensitive layer hardens at the places where the negative is transparent; where the negative is black the layer remains soft. The plate was dipped in an acid bath. The acid eats away those parts of the metal plate where there is no hardened layer. These parts of the metal plate become lower; they do not print because they are not inked. The raised parts remain intact and print. A "Suske en Wiske cliché" is such a beautiful original metal printing plate on which the drawn Suske en Wiske drawing is applied as a negative image (i.e., mirror image), after which this printing plate was used to print the drawing. See the scan of the final publication, which is for illustration only. A top piece. The item will be sent by registered mail. Shipping costs are for the buyer.
