Hachette’s Tarzan et les Chinois

Strolling second hand and antiquarian bookshops in Paris the other weekend I came across this 1939 edition of Tarzan et les Chinois – No.6 in Hachette’s Tarzan series of the late 1930. It’s not much of a tale I’m afraid but is beautifully drawn and illustrated by the American illustrator Hogarth Burne (1911-1996) who was best known for his work on the Tarzan series in the 1930s starting in 1936. There were several editions issued by Hachette in France (see second image below).
