The work is clearly identified by its title and author, both inscribed in gold lettering on the cover. The publisher Hachette also appears at the bottom of the cover, which helps authenticate the origin of this publication. The cover features an olive green hue with horizontal gilded decorative elements, typical of bound editions from the early to mid-20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible binding is rigid, with a canvas-like coating. The title \"LES TROIS MOUSQUETAIRES - TOME I\" (THE THREE MUSKETEERS - VOLUME I) as well as the name Alexandre Dumas are clearly legible, printed in gold. The publisher's name \"HACHETTE\" also appears, likewise in gold. The sober and elegant cover layout is enhanced by three parallel gilded bands in the upper and lower sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book shows visible signs of wear: blunted corners, rubbing on the edges, marks on the cover, and some cosmetic defects in the center. The overall condition suggests previous use but remains consistent with an antique copy, enhancing its vintage and authentic character. The spine of the book is not visible in the photo, so no information is provided regarding it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe style of the cover and the gilded typography evoke Hachette editions produced between the 1930s and 1960s, although it is not possible to specify an exact date from this image alone. The general appearance corresponds to that of a family or school library book from that era, with a sturdy bound format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
