Description

This issue of the illustrated magazine "Lisette" is an authentic vintage copy dated Sunday, February 24, 1935. It is issue No. 8 of the fifteenth year (711th installment), published in Paris. The colored cover features a narrative illustration titled "Le Collier de Jade (suite)" (The Jade Necklace - continued), characteristic of the graphic style of the 1930s, with a meticulous composition and expressive characters. The title "Lisette" appears in blue handwritten lettering on a cream background, accompanied by two stylized red roses, an emblematic visual signature of the magazine.

This girls' magazine, consisting of 16 pages (indicated on the cover), presents a stapled format typical of interwar youth periodicals. The visible cover shows an oriental-inspired interior setting, with a bearded man in traditional attire, a veiled female silhouette in the background, and a crying blonde girl in the foreground. The dominant colors are blue, red, green, and sepia tones, with a period four-color print.

The mention "Published: weekly" and the original price of 25 centimes are clearly printed on the cover. The address of the Parisian offices is legible: 5, rue Gazan, Paris (XIVe). The general appearance of the paper shows natural aging patina, with some foxing and handling marks visible on the front.

The front page specifies that the main story, "Le Collier de Jade," continues on pages 8 and 9. The signature "J. Jobé" is also noted on the illustration, attributing the graphic design to this artist.

This old youth periodical is a valuable testament to the illustrated children's press of the 1930s, both in its aesthetics and its narrative and visual content intended for young female readers.
