Moscow without veils, by Joseph Douillet, book published in 1928,
Reference work used by Hergé for his mythical album Tintin in the land of the Soviets in 1929.
The book is in overall good condition:
- small tear at the bottom of the cover and slight creases at the bottom right
- small slits at the bottom of the back
- stamp on the cover page
- well-welded notebooks
- Flawless and tear-free interior
This is the original edition, not a reissue, a very interesting book to read to understand the context in which Hergé sent Tintin to the USSR, just 12 years after the Russian Revolution.
