This small car was capable of long journeys, during which it could reach a speed of 40 km/h on level ground....

Wishing to evoke, through Tintin, the history of means of transport, peoples, countries..., Hergé developed the Chromos project with the help of E.P. Jacobs.
The first images appeared in 1946 in the Tintin magazine and the chromolithographs could be obtained in exchange for Tintin stamps.
Initially broader, the project narrowed and became the story of means of transport.
The 300 existing chromolithographs are signed by Hergé and were published in 2 stages.
Firstly, in collaboration with E.P. Jacobs, the series AEROSTABILIZATION and RAILWAYS were published
Then, in collaboration with J. Martin, the following series were published: THE AUTOMOBILE FROM ITS ORIGINS TO 1900, AVIATION WAR 1939-45, AVIATION FROM ITS ORIGINS TO 1914, THE NAVY FROM ITS ORIGINS TO 1700, THE NAVY FROM 1700 TO 1800
