Vintage Children's Nursery Rhymes 45 RPM vinyl record, retro illustrated cover

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45-rpm vinyl record, titled "Rondes enfantines" (Children's Rounds), comes in a cardboard sleeve with a colorful and cheerful illustration. The front of the sleeve depicts several children dressed in period costumes, holding hands in a flowery rural setting. The illustration, signed by Denise Chabot, is typical of a retro style, with bright colors and soft outlines, evoking the world of traditional children's songs and nursery rhymes.

The title "Rondes enfantines" appears at the top of the sleeve in green handwritten letters, against a sky-blue gradient background. The entire scene is surrounded by large yellow flowers and greenery, reinforcing the naive and bucolic atmosphere of the illustration. The sleeve adopts a classic square format for 45-rpm records, with a slightly angled presentation in the photo, allowing the entire front to be viewed.

In the lower left part, the signature "Denise Chabot" is clearly visible, confirming the work of an illustrator specializing in children's publishing. No other text, record label logo, or label mention is visible on the shown side. The upper left edge bears a small printed reference: "VI 332", likely related to the record's edition or catalog.

The overall condition of the sleeve shows some signs of wear consistent with a vintage item: slightly creased corners, small handling marks, and minor alterations on the cardboard, with no apparent tears on the visible front. The colors remain vibrant, and the overall appearance remains decorative and legible.
