Vintage Illustrated Book Puss in Boots Denise Chabot Retro Children's LP 45 RPM

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique illustrated book features the classic tale "Puss in Boots". The cover displays a colorful scene, typical of mid-20th century children's illustration, with three children in period costumes, moving through a flowery garden with large yellow daisies and green foliage. The characters wear brightly colored clothes: olive green, turquoise blue, red, purple, and pink, with accessories such as ribbon-adorned hats, evoking the retro style of children's albums from the 60s-70s.

The illustration is signed "Denise Chabot" in the bottom left, confirming the hand of a recognized illustrator of children's books. The handwritten title "Le chat botté" is visible on a label glued to the top of the cover, as well as a handwritten reference "VI 308". A notation is also visible on the right, likely an old owner's mark, typical of school or library books.

The cardboard cover shown in the photo has a matte appearance, with slight patination on the corners and some signs of wear, particularly on the upper right edge. The colors remain vibrant and the drawing is not faded, indicating good preservation for a vintage book. No disc is visible, but the keywords specify the presence of a 45 RPM LP (45-speed vinyl), suggesting that the book was accompanied by a record, a common practice in the 60s-70s for musical tales.

The graphic style, the characters' costumes, and the illustration technique place this book within the tradition of 20th-century illustrated children's albums, with a retro aesthetic sought after by lovers of children's literature and vintage decor.

Did you know? Illustrated albums accompanied by 45 RPM vinyl records were particularly popular in France in the 1960s and 1970s. They allowed children to follow the story by turning the pages to the rhythm of the record, an educational and fun innovation that marked several generations.
