This issue, dated from the 1950s according to visual cues and layout style, offers a typical presentation of regional press from that era. The front page features the Lurs affair, a significant news item, and highlights various national and local news, such as the storm in the Bay of Biscay and government announcements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe newspaper is printed in black and white on traditional newsprint, with a prominent bright red \"LE PROVENCAL\" header at the top of the page.

The text columns are dense, typical of post-war daily newspaper layouts, and numerous boxes highlight political, social, and sports news.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper left part features a period advertisement for Hélios \"Extensia\" stockings.
