This is a listing for a hardcover of The Tattooed Sailor by European cartoonist André François, published in 1953 by Alfred A. Knopf. Includes a special introduction by Walt Kelly. A wonderful retro collection of mid-century French cartoon art and illustrations. Details & Condition: Hardcover format Dust jacket is included but shows clear vintage shelf wear, small edge tears, and aging. SKU BKS128 Note: There is some handwriting/scribble markings on the upper corner of the first page of the book. I thought this was markings from a prior owner but was advised that this is how the author signed his books but this has NOT been verified. Please review photos carefully. Great addition to a vintage coffee table or art book collection. Item Specifics: Author: André François Book Title: The Tattooed SailorP Publisher: Alfred A. KnopfYear Printed: 1953 Binding: Hardcover with Dust Jacket (with visible wear and tear)
