Chimère(s) 1887 #2

Set against a dreamy Parisian skyline scattered with falling rose petals, this second volume of Chimère(s) 1887 presents a striking cover image of an elaborately dressed young woman in Victorian finery — jeweled headdress, vivid crimson gloves, and an ornate lace gown — clutching a pale rose while a second figure lingers enigmatically in the background, the Eiffel Tower silhouetted beneath them. The subtitle Dentelles Écarlates ("Scarlet Laces") perfectly echoes the rich, romantic visual palette that Pelinq, Melanyn, and Vincent have crafted here. Published in 2012, this Glénat release promises an atmospheric journey through a gorgeously imagined Belle Époque Paris.
