AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

An illustrated hardcover book, titled "LE MONDE entre ciel et terre" (THE WORLD between sky and earth) by Enrico Lavagno, published by National Geographic. The front cover features a vibrant color aerial photograph depicting a coastline and lagoon landscape with turquoise, sand, and green hues, typical of contemporary geography books and National Geographic editions.

The overall appearance of the book is horizontal (landscape format), with a glossy hardcover. The National Geographic brand identity, with its yellow logo at the bottom right, as well as the author's name, Enrico Lavagno, are clearly visible on the front. No specific date is indicated in this view, but the visual style and graphics suggest a late 20th or early 21st-century edition.

The main title, "LE MONDE" (THE WORLD), is printed in large white letters on a dark blue background, surmounting a spectacular photograph. Below, the tagline "entre ciel et terre" (between sky and earth) appears in a white box, emphasizing the documentary and encyclopedic nature of the work. The colors of the cover photograph are striking, with a marked contrast between the intense blue of the water, the light sandbanks, and the island vegetation.

The visible spine suggests a substantial volume, without being able to indicate the exact number of pages or thickness. No major snags or tears are visible on the cover, but there are some reflections and slight signs of use, typical of a carefully handled used book.

The book is displayed on a dark wooden table, in front of a bookcase of antique bindings, highlighting the contrast between the contemporary appearance of the National Geographic book and the classic decor.
