This vintage administrative document features a typical 1920s layout, with black print on cream paper, slightly yellowed by time. The text is partially handwritten in black ink, complemented by pre-printed fields, and much information remains legible on the visible side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the upper left section is a red tax stamp of 7.50 francs, characteristic of authentic civil status documents from the first half of the 20th century. The header clearly states \"République Française - Mairie de Marseille\" (French Republic - City Hall of Marseille) followed by the title \"Extrait d'Acte de Naissance\" (Birth Certificate Extract). Several handwritten areas specify individual data: year of birth (1926), first and last name of the child, as well as those of the parents. A handwritten marginal note is also visible on the right side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bottom of the document features an official round seal of the Marseille city hall, partially legible, as well as the signature of the civil status officer. The layout, writing style, and graphic elements are characteristic of French administration between the two World Wars. The entire document is presented open, allowing full visibility of the main side, without obscuring any essential elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe paper has an original patina, with visible signs of wear: slight marked central creases, handling marks, slightly dog-eared corners, and potential small stains due to age. No major tearing is visible on the exposed side. The printed and handwritten text remains generally legible, with the exception of some signatures or mentions partially faded by time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis type of administrative document is particularly of interest for genealogy research, local history, or documentation on French civil status. Its authenticity is attested by the presence of the tax stamp and the official seal, typical of original documents from this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
