Description
This old issue of the "Lisette" newspaper, dated Sunday, August 11, 1935, is an authentic illustrated periodical intended for young girls. The richly colored cover depicts a train station platform scene drawn in a style typical of the 1930s, where two young girls in coats observe a train, while a group of characters exchange a last glance from the window. The blue header adorned with roses elegantly frames the title "Lisette," with clear indications of the number of pages ("16 Pages") and the price of the time ("25 Centimes") in prominent yellow inserts.
The newspaper is identified as issue 32 of its fifteenth year (735th delivery), confirming its weekly publication. The inscription "Journal des fillettes" (Girls' Newspaper) appears at the top, as does information about the Paris offices. The bottom of the cover announces the story "Rayon de Soleil" (Sunbeam), starting in this issue, with a reference to pages 8 and 9 for the continuation of the story.
The visible page features a color print on paper typical of old periodical editions, with a slight patina and signs of wear on the right edge, including some tears and a small stain at the bottom right. The paper shows an ivory to beige coloration, characteristic of publications from this era, and the print remains clearly legible despite the natural aging of the medium.
This "Lisette" newspaper stands out for its period graphic layout, with narrative illustrations depicting daily life and adventures for young readers. The typography, inserts, and the clothing style of the characters on the cover are typical of the 1930s, offering valuable visual testimony to children's publishing in the interwar period.

Did you know? The "Lisette" newspaper was launched in 1921 by the Montsouris publishing house, targeting young girls with illustrated stories and comic strips. It influenced several generations until its merger with "La Semaine de Suzette" in 1973, becoming a key reference in 20th-century French children's press.
