Description

This issue of "Lisette" magazine is an old edition dated Sunday, July 21, 1935, as indicated at the top right of the cover. This is issue 29 of the fifteenth year (732nd delivery), a periodical intended for young girls, as indicated by the mention "Journal des fillettes" (Girls' Magazine) below the title. The cover features a polychrome illustration typical of the 1930s, depicting a rural scene: a young girl, seen from behind, throws a ball or object towards a family at a train window. The whole is framed by a title in white handwritten lettering on a blue background, adorned with two stylized roses on each side, and the mention "16 Pages" in yellow on the left.

The magazine stands out for its meticulous presentation and graphic design characteristic of interwar youth press. The main colors of the cover are blue, yellow, brick red, green, and cream tones, with solid color printing. The original price, "25 centimes," is also visible in a yellow box on the right. The office address is visible: 1, rue Gazan, Paris (XIVe). The title of the featured story, "PAR LA PORTIÈRE" (THROUGH THE WINDOW), is printed in capital letters below the illustration.

The overall condition of the cover shows an even patina, typical of old papers: slight yellowing of the paper, rounded corners, and discreet handling marks visible on the left edge and borders. No tears or major stains are visible on the front. The printing remains clear and legible, with no fading of colors or inscriptions.

This youth periodical, published weekly at the time, was intended for a readership of young girls and offered illustrated stories, comic strips, and educational content adapted to children in the 1930s. The visual aspect, typography, and graphic style reflect French editorial production in the first third of the 20th century.

Used magazine, sold as is. The cover shows an age-appropriate patina, yellowing of the paper, and slight signs of wear on the edges. No major defects visible on the front.
