Description

This old issue of the newspaper "Lisette" is dated Sunday, November 11, 1934. It is an illustrated periodical titled "Journal des fillettes" (Girls' Newspaper), published in Paris, and intended for a young female audience. The visible cover features a color illustration depicting two female characters in period attire, one seated reading a book, the other in a long dress, in a bourgeois interior adorned with flowers and stylized furniture. This scene is captioned "Enfin réunies!" (Finally reunited!) at the bottom of the page.

The title "Lisette" is highlighted in a blue cartouche topped with two stylized roses, with the clear mentions "16 pages" and a price of "25 centimes" on a yellow background. The header also specifies the issue number (No. 45, fourteenth year) and the address of the editorial office in Paris. The layout reflects the graphic and typographic codes of the 1930s, with the use of black and vivid flat colors on the cover.

The edge of the cover shows a slight patina, typical of printed materials from this era, with some visible signs of wear on the edges, without any apparent missing parts on the presented front side. The corners are slightly rounded by time, and the paper shows a cream to beige coloration, characteristic of old newsprint.

The magazine consists of 16 pages (explicitly mentioned on the cover), but only the front cover is visible here. No interior content is described, in accordance with the provided image. The mention "Parait chaque semaine" (Published every week) indicates the periodical's frequency, popular in old children's press.

The illustrated cover is typical of French children's press from the interwar period, with a refined and narrative drawing, and decorative elements inspired by Art Deco, noticeable in the furniture and composition.
