Asterix Among the Helvetii - Enamel Plaque Asterix Among the Helvetii. Enamel plaque, limited and numbered edition. Émaillerie Belge / Zédibulle Éditions, 2019. A superb, large-format enamel plaque depicting Asterix practicing archery (with an apple as his target, a nod to William Tell) while Obelix prepares a fondue in the background. This original illustration was first published in the magazine Pilote (Issue No. 580, December 1970) to announce the release of the album *Asterix Among the Helvetians*. Crafted using traditional artisanal techniques by Émaillerie Belge, this exceptional piece required five firings at over 800°C to set its 14 colors. The finish is characterized by an incomparable luster and a slight texture when touched, typical of high-quality enameling.
