Description

This old issue of the "Lisette" newspaper, dated Sunday, September 24, 1933, is an illustrated publication intended for young girls. The cover features a colored rural scene, signed "Levesque", showing a group of female characters in period clothing, accompanied by a dog, in front of a rural building. The title of the story on the cover is "La Maison sans Portes (Suite)", with an indication of continuation inside ("See story pages 8 and 9").

The front page displays the "Lisette" logo in large blue lettering on an oval background, surrounded by stylized roses. It clearly reads "Journal des fillettes" (Girls' Newspaper), "16 pages", and the price "25 centimes". The printing shows well-preserved colors despite a slight paper patina, typical of publications from that era. The upper right edge has small signs of wear, as well as some folds and browning on the edges, indicating its age.

In the upper left, there is the mention "N° 39 – Treizième année (637e livraison)" (No. 39 – Thirteenth year (637th issue)), which precisely places this fascicule in the collection. The editorial information is visible: "Parait chaque semaine" (Published weekly) and the office address in Paris (1, rue Gazan, Paris XIVe). The entire cover, with its pastel shades and graphic details, perfectly reflects the editorial style of youth periodicals from the early 1930s.

The paper has an ivory to yellowed tint, characteristic of old newspapers, with a matte texture and a slightly embossed typographical print to the touch. No decorative elements or handwritten annotations are visible on the front. The general condition is consistent with a period copy handled with care, although showing signs of age (small dog-ears, blunted corners, slight browning).

This periodical is a typical example of illustrated French youth press from the early 20th century, particularly sought after for its original illustrations and serialized stories. The front page, with its narrative scene and dog, offers an attractive visual for display or decoration.
