Série 16

Série 16, launched by Maison Quantin around 1900 and running for 20 issues, is a pioneering early French comic series that captures the dawn of the medium. Most associated with the versatile talents of Alfred Daguet, Paul Steck, and Benjamin Rabier, this turn-of-the-century anthology showcases the formative blend of illustration and sequential storytelling. Its historical significance lies in preserving the work of these key artists at a time when the comic form was just beginning to take shape in Europe.
