With original Babar art, earlier work is often the more desirable. Laurent de Brunhoff's two-page spread fromBabar à la fête de Célesteville (1954) is already second-generation Babar—Jean de Brunhoff being the creator—but fairly early in the son's long run. The original art of Babar and family walking through Celesteville is currently available from a dealer in Vienna.
