Endpapers are the double-page-size sheets of paper that link the inside cover of a book with its interior pages. The sheets are often highly illustrated and might be used on a number of publications. Endpaper artwork consisting of 34 small drawings of Tintin and his dog Snowy drawn by their creator Hergé (Belgian cartoonist Georges Remi) and depicting scenes from some of duo’s best-known adventures fetched a price of 2.5 million euros ($3.4 million), including fees, when sold at the Artcurial auction in Paris on 25 May 2014. The artwork featured in the endpapers in various Tintin books published between 1937 and 1958.
