The sleeve boasts a colorful, naive illustration, typical of mid-20th-century children's editions, created by Denise Chabot (signature visible at the bottom right). On the visible side, the illustration depicts the character of Tom Thumb, dressed in torn black trousers, a yellow shirt, and a blue hat, accompanied by the gigantic ogre, seated in the grass, wearing a blue tunic and a red hat. The entire scene is rendered in a vibrant color palette (blue, green, red, yellow) that evokes a vintage, childlike aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe title \"Le petit Poucet\" (Tom Thumb) is inscribed in red handwritten letters at the top of the sleeve, against a backdrop of a pastoral landscape. Stylized trees on the left and abundant grass complete the scene. The jacket's printing shows a slightly grainy texture, typical of editions from that era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe photographed side only shows the front cover of the record, with no visible indication of a label or publisher, nor an explicit mention of the year. However, the graphic style, layout, and color palette suggest a vintage edition, likely from the 1960s to 1980s. No major flaws are apparent on the sleeve at first glance, but slight traces of wear or handling may remain, which is common for this type of old object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover shows no stickers, price tags, or visible handwritten additions. No other elements (back cover, record itself, insert) are visible in the photo. The object is displayed standing on an antique wooden piece of furniture, in a church or cathedral-style setting, which highlights its retro and heritage aspect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 45 RPM format, mentioned in the keywords, corresponds to a single vinyl record, intended for playback on a standard turntable. This type of medium was commonly used for musical tales and children's stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.

Throughout the 20th century, it inspired numerous adaptations into illustrated children's records, particularly in the 1960s-1980s, a period during which 45 RPM vinyl records were a preferred medium for distributing children's audio and musical stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAFW Reassurance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCareful packaging and fast shipping by a professional seller specializing in vintage and antique items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKeywords: children's vinyl record, 45 RPM tale, vintage illustrated sleeve, Tom Thumb story record, retro children's vinyl, record fairy tale, old french vinyl, old children's record, audio story, children's turntable, musical tale, Denise Chabot sleeve\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AFW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54235558871367,"sku":"1b8a4a1e-5037-4900-a8e8-454d237941f7","price":2.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0989\/5152\/8775\/files\/1_839d989c-0139-4915-94f3-41936a33f3e4.jpg?v=1782472271","url":"https:\/\/shop.antiquefranceworldwide.com\/en\/products\/disque-vinyle-45-tours-le-petit-poucet-vintage-illustration-denise-chabot","provider":"AFW","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
