It is a typewritten administrative sheet, bearing the letterhead of the French Republic, with the mention \"Arrêté\" (Order) at the top of the page. The central text specifies that it is an order for the occupation of public domain for the city of Marseille, signed by the prefect and addressed to a private individual named Pierre Lait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe page presents several characteristic elements of administrative documents of the era: at the top left, one finds the mention \"PRÉFECTURE BOUCHES-DU-RHONE\" and various handwritten or printed sections (division, office, year 1940). Several official stamps are visible, including a blue stamp dated June 5, 1940, with the mention \"CHAUSSÉES\" (Roads) and another rectangular blue stamp dated August 8, 1940, indicating the dispatch date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo blue 9-franc fiscal stamps are affixed at the bottom left, canceled with the official circular stamp. They attest to the payment of administrative fees of the time and lend this document additional interest for administrative history or philately enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe typewritten text, partially legible in the photo, specifies that the request concerns the renewal of an authorization, with conditions of maintenance and non-modification of the construction concerned. Several handwritten annotations appear at the top right, probably internal references or filing instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall condition of the document shows a slight patina of use, characteristic of old archives: the sheet has a homogeneous ivory tint, with no tears or major stains visible on the displayed side. The typewritten impression remains clear, as do the stamps and fiscal stamps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed archive document, sold as is.
