Nordmann and published by Fernand Nathan. The cover visible in the photo is hardback, brown in color with a patinated appearance, showing significant signs of wear and stains, typical of a book that has passed through several decades. The spine and corners are blunted, and the binding appears weakened on the left edge, revealing the internal structure of the spine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover features a polychrome illustration in its center, depicting a tropical landscape of Tahiti, with palm trees in the foreground, lush vegetation, mountains on the horizon, and a body of water reflecting a pastel-colored sky. This illustration, signed \"C. Bauzan\" in the lower right corner, adds an artistic touch typical of illustrated editions from the early to mid-20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe main inscriptions are clear: at the top, the author's name \"P. I. NORDMANN\" in printed characters, the title \"TAHITI\" in large letters, and at the bottom, the publisher's name \"FERNAND NATHAN.\" The overall graphic design, sober and unadorned, reflects a classic editorial style of school or documentary books of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface of the cover shows a uniform patina, with friction marks, halos, and a brownish discoloration from time, giving the book an authentically vintage charm.
