Description

This issue of the "Lisette" newspaper, dated Sunday, July 7, 1935, is a period copy of the famous periodical for young girls. The cover features a large full-page polychrome illustration, typical of interwar youth publications. The title "Lisette" appears in white cursive letters on a blue background, adorned with stylized roses in the upper corners, with yellow boxes indicating the number of pages ("16 Pages") and the original price ("25 Centimes").

The scene illustrated on the cover, entitled "CELLE QUI OSA PARLER" (SHE WHO DARED TO SPEAK), depicts several female characters in historical or exotic attire, accompanied by a man in oriental dress. The drawing, created in a clear line style and colorful, reflects the narrative graphic design characteristic of 1930s youth magazines. Details of costumes, floral patterns on the dress, and the indoor environment are finely rendered, highlighting the care taken with iconography of the period.

At the top of the page, the mention "Quinzième année (730e livraison)" (Fifteenth year (730th delivery)) as well as the editorial office address in Paris can be seen. The mention "JOURNAL DES FILLETTES" (GIRLS' NEWSPAPER) confirms the editorial target of this publication, aimed at a young female readership. The cover also announces the weekly publication of the magazine.

The paper, yellowed in appearance, shows signs of wear consistent with the age of the copy: rounded corners, small tears, and slight fragility on the edges. The color print remains vibrant despite a natural patina and slight dulling due to the passage of time. The upper right edge is slightly dog-eared, without impeding legibility or the integrity of the visible cover.

This periodical is one of the popular illustrated newspapers of the early 20th century, appreciated for their stories, games, and original illustrations. The presented edition, with its narrative cover and period details, constitutes an authentic testimony of old youth press.
