Le Havre #1

A sweeping historical portrait of one of France's great port cities, this first volume from Éditions Petit à Petit spans an extraordinary arc — from prehistory all the way to the Revolution. The cover sets the tone beautifully: a commanding seafaring figure in a tricorn hat adorned with a fleur-de-lis banner looms large against a dramatic, smoke-tinged sky, while tall ships sail the turbulent waters below. It's a rich, painterly invitation into the layered story of Le Havre, brought to life with genuine ambition in 2016.
