Vintage children's rhymes vinyl record illustrated sleeve

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique vinyl record features an illustrated cover in pastel colors, dominated by shades of green, blue, pink, and yellow. The illustration shows four large stylized birds, each carrying a child, surrounded by colorful ribbons forming a central knot. The title "Rondes enfantines" (Children's Rounds) appears at the top of the cover, written in multicolored handwritten letters. In the upper left corner is the reference "VI 320."

The illustrated scene evokes a poetic and playful universe, typical of children's productions from the mid to late 20th century. The children are depicted in various colorful costumes, some sitting on the birds, others standing, which gives the cover a joyful and dreamlike atmosphere.

The vinyl is housed in a matte cardboard sleeve, with no visible shiny or embossed elements. The outlines of the drawings are fine and the colors slightly faded, reminiscent of watercolor technique. No record label logo is visible on the front, but the general presentation matches the standards of children's records published in France in the 20th century.
