"Les Huppes" illustrated by Xavier du Poret, published in 1958 by Maison Hermès in Paris. This very beautiful square, very rare, and very sought-after, published in 1958 and never reissued. Comes on a bright yellow background, monochrome gray/black crests and braided with blue on the crest. This edition listed in the dictionary of Hermès art squares, appears in place 1A, which means "very rare, and very sought-after". In silk twill with turquoise and burgundy borders on a plain yellow background, with hand-rolled edges, features the "hoopoe fasciée" diurnal migratory bird, sumptuous with its exotic appearance which carries on the top of its head an erectile crest that it can open like a fan. In nature its feathers are a beautiful pinkish beige, with a white and black tip, the plumage of its body is orange-pink, the tail and the large rounded wings are streaked with black and white. Here, sublimated in gray/black and bluish lines on the crest, Xavier du Poret born on April 12, 1894 and died on July 18, 1975, French animal artist, portraitist and illustrator, expressed all his talent.
