The document is printed on cream paper with a classic early 20th-century administrative typeface. It features the official mentions of the French Republic and the Prefecture in the header, as well as a blue \"Ponts et Chaussées\" (Bridges and Roads) stamp dated August 17, 1933, and November 3, 1933. A fiscal stamp is also affixed in the upper left corner, typical of public domain occupation authorization documents from this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper part of the document is adorned with a handwritten inscription, as well as period signatures and annotations, attesting to its authenticity and its passage through administrative services. The central text, which is very legible, concerns the authorization given to the \"Cie des Pétroles\" (Oil Company) to install a pipeline on the Rive quay of the Rove Canal in Marseille, reflecting the industrial activity and urban infrastructure of southern France in the interwar period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe document shows visible wear on the upper edge, including tears and folds, as well as slight yellowing of the paper, typical of old papers preserved for several decades. The layout is characteristic of prefectural orders from the 1930s, with a sober style and a hierarchical arrangement of information: header, legal text, articles, and signatures. The presence of the fiscal stamp and the official seal reinforces the patrimonial and historical value of this piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe side visible in the photo shows only the front of the document. No back, nor any other sheet, is visible or described here. The entire main text and handwritten elements are legible in the photographed area, allowing one to appreciate the administrative nature and context of this order's issuance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe paper displays a slightly embossed texture, visible under light, and a homogeneous patina. There is a perforation or more pronounced wear on the upper left corner, without major alteration of the text. This piece is a direct testament to administrative procedures and public infrastructure in Marseille in the 1930s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis document is used and sold as is, with traces of wear, folds, small tears, and yellowing typical of old administrative paper.
