Very nice Illustration representing Benjamin Fleury-Nadal, from a panel from the album "the decalogue - Fleury-Nadal Vol2. Benjamin. 1/2 "(2007, Frank Giroud / Daniel Hulet). A picture of the page is shown in the additional images.
When re-reading the Decalogue ‘backwards’, the reader realizes that all the characters belong to the same family: The Fleury-Nadal.
Benjamin, son of Ninon and Alexandre Fleury, is the hero of a diptych illustrated effectively by Daniel Hulet.
When he first appears, Benjamin Fleury is a student engineer at the Polytechnique school, passionate about Egypt which he knows through drawings by Desnouettes for NAHIK which family owns the originals. A luminous story with the grandiose scenery that inspired the painter Desnouettes for NAHIK.
