The visible side of the cover shows a colorful and naive illustration depicting a yellow duckling in the center, wearing a blue and white striped top, standing, accompanied in the background by several geese and a frog on a lily pad. The scenery evokes a rural scene with grass, flowers, and some rural buildings in the background. The title \"Le Vilain Petit Canard\" (The Ugly Duckling) is written in red and pink letters at the top of the cover, in a childlike typography. At the bottom right, the signature \"Denise Carabot\" appears, identifying the illustrator of this edition. The entire scene is rendered in a vintage style, typical of children's productions from the 60s-70s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover displays vibrant colors, mainly yellow, green, blue, and red, with floral and animal motifs that reinforce the playful and childlike aspect of the object. The print appears slightly patinated, reflecting the age of this vinyl. No label, record company, or manufacturer's mention is visible on the presented side. The photographed item is in a vertical position, well-lit, which allows for observation of the integrity of the front cover, without being able to presume the condition of the back or the record itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover does not show any major visible tears, but there are some signs of wear on the corners and edges, typical of an old vinyl record that has been handled. The graphics and color palette correspond to the standards of children's editions from the second half of the 20th century. The illustrated scene, with its anthropomorphic animals and pastoral environment, immediately evokes the tale of The Ugly Duckling, a classic of children's literature adapted to many audio-visual media.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe illustrator's signature, Denise Carabot, clearly legible, may be of interest to collectors of illustrated books and records from this period. The record is mentioned as \"untested\" in the keywords, meaning that its functional condition (playback) has not been verified. No details about the vinyl label or any tracks on side B are visible in the provided photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis 45-rpm vinyl, with its illustrated cover, is a decorative vintage object, appreciated for its graphic appeal as much as for its musical and nostalgic dimension. It is a standard format for children's records at the time, often played on portable record players or integrated into book-records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item sold as is, with visible signs of wear on the cover (corners, edges).
