Description

This lot concerns an original issue of the illustrated children's magazine titled MICHA, issue 11/1985. The cover is very colorful and features a bright and cheerful illustration depicting four children in outdoor clothing, waving in front of a forest landscape with trees in autumnal and spring hues. The graphic style is typical of European youth press from the 1980s, with expressive lines and bold colors.

In the upper left corner, we find the magazine's characteristic logo: a blond child's face surrounded by a red circle, and the title MICHA in green letters. To the right, an animal mascot (mouse or bear face) is featured in an orange circle. The indicated edition is "11/1985" and the mention "Illustrated monthly for children" is clearly visible, specifying the multilingual publication (German, English, Spanish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Russian).

The cover also features a bright yellow insert with the sheet music and the title "AVEC DES AMIS" (WITH FRIENDS). This graphic presentation is reminiscent of educational materials and entertaining magazines intended for young people during the Soviet and post-Soviet periods, with a clear educational and entertaining intention.

The paper has a matte appearance, typical of children's press of that era, with a slight visible patina on the edges and some folds or signs of use, particularly on the upper left edge. No internal content is visible in this photo, but the front cover is preserved in its entirety, with still vibrant colors.

The ISSN 0208-1628 is printed in the upper right corner, confirming the authenticity of this periodical. The entire front face is intact, without visible annotations or cuts, which is rare for this type of old medium.
