Description

This issue of the illustrated newspaper Lisette, dated Sunday, June 10, 1934, features a colorful cover typical of children's press of the era. At the top, the title "Lisette" is displayed in white cursive letters on a blue background, framed by two stylized red roses. The mention "Journal des fillettes" (Girls' Newspaper) and the indication "16 pages" are clearly visible. The original selling price is stated as 25 centimes. The cover announces the beginning of the story "L'enfant du naufrage" (The Child of the Shipwreck), accompanied by an illustration of a harbor scene showing two children looking at the sea, signed "E. Zot" at the bottom right of the image.

The page shows a slight browned patina, typical of old paper, with dulled corners and visible wear on the edges, particularly at the top left. The stapled binding is visible on the spine, with no apparent tears on the shown side. The polychrome printing of the cover remains vibrant despite the passage of time, highlighting the vintage charm of this original edition.

The main inscriptions are perfectly legible: "N° 23 – Quatorzième année (674e livraison)" (No. 23 – Fourteenth year (674th delivery)), as well as the office address in Paris (4, rue Gazan, Paris XIVe). The mention "Parait : Chaque Semaine" (Published: Every Week) indicates the periodicity of this publication intended for young girls.

The cover illustration, executed in a narrative and expressive style, depicts characters in traditional clothing, in a maritime atmosphere, which gives this issue a particular appeal for enthusiasts of old press and historical comic strips. The main visible colors are blue, red, beige, and touches of black and brown.

The mention "Début du film : L’enfant du naufrage (voir l’histoire pages 8 et 9)" (Start of the film: The Child of the Shipwreck (see the story on pages 8 and 9)) indicates the presence of an illustrated story inside, true to the format of this periodical.
