Description

This old issue of "Lisette" newspaper, dated Sunday, May 7, 1933, is a weekly publication for young girls, as indicated by the mention "Journal des fillettes" (Girls' Newspaper) on the front page. The newspaper has 16 pages, information visible in a yellow box to the left of the title. The cover features a colorful illustration depicting a street scene in front of a bakery, with two main characters: a young woman in an apron and headscarf handing bread and a blood sausage to a boy dressed in patched trousers and a waistcoat. Several other female characters are visible in the background, enhancing the vintage village atmosphere. The scene is captioned: "Pierrette, her blood sausage and her loaf."

The newspaper's header is decorated with a large blue-green cartridge bearing the title "Lisette" in white handwritten letters, framed by stylized floral motifs. Practical information such as the price (25 centimes), the issue number (19), the date, the number of pages, and the address of the offices in Paris are clearly visible. The cover drawing, signed "MAITREJEAN," features bright printing colors typical of the 1930s, with intricate details in the costumes and architecture.

The paper shows a natural patina, with noticeable yellowing, typical of publications from this era. The edges show signs of wear, particularly in the lower left corner where the paper is slightly creased and stained. The binding is visible on the left side, suggesting classic stapling for this type of fascicle, although the staples themselves are not visible in the photo. No internal content is visible in this image; only the front of the cover is presented.

This illustrated newspaper, intended for young girls, stands out for its period graphic style and characteristic printing colors. It is an authentic testament to early 20th-century youth press, particularly sought after for its illustrated plates and original stories. The presence of the precise date and issue number gives this fascicle particular interest for identification and referencing.

The serial number displayed at the top left indicates that this is the 617th booklet in the collection, published during the thirteenth year of the newspaper's existence. This edition thus combines documentary interest with visual appeal, with a cover particularly representative of popular imagery from the 1930s.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The paper shows general yellowing, stains, and worn corners, especially in the lower part. The cover remains legible, and the illustration retains beautiful colors despite the patina of time.
