At the top, the title \"DES FRANÇAIS en qui on peut avoir CONFIANCE\" (FRENCH PEOPLE you can TRUST) is printed in capital letters, followed by the subtitle \"Pour remettre de l’ordre dans notre FRANCE, pour la conduire vers un renouveau de grandeur\" (To restore order in our FRANCE, to lead it towards a renewal of greatness). The cover page is adorned with a photographic montage showing the portraits of sixteen political figures, each identified by their name in capital letters below their face. The layout and typography clearly evoke the 1940s, a period marked by the production of political propaganda documents in France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe paper has an ivory tint, slightly yellowed by time, with some visible signs of wear on the edges, notably a pronounced fold on the bottom left and a small tear on the bottom right. The printing is monochrome, with a strong contrast between the text and the background. The portraits are made in a photogravure style, typical of campaign or political communication brochures of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the bottom of the cover, an additional mention reinforces the message: \"Des patriotes, des républicains avertis et éprouvés…\" (Patriots, informed and tested republicans…). The overall visual, including the arrangement of faces and the choice of slogans, corresponds to the tradition of propaganda booklets or political list support, often distributed during elections or major campaigns of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe brochure is stapled on the left side (binding not visible but typical of this format), and its rectangular shape is reminiscent of standard political tract and brochure formats. No precise date is visible on the front, but the iconography, graphic style, and choice of personalities strongly evoke the post-war period, probably around 1945-1950.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe object is presented flat on a dark wooden background, highlighting the contrast between the light cover and the support. The surface of the booklet shows some old stains and traces of moisture, mainly on the lower part, without affecting the readability of the text or the portraits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.

The montage of collective portraits was a frequent method to illustrate the unity of a party or movement during the Fourth Republic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAFW Reassurance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour purchase will be carefully packaged and shipped promptly by a professional seller specializing in antique items and historical documents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKeywords: antique political brochure, 40s tract, France propaganda, vintage booklet, paper political poster, French historical document, propaganda brochure, politician portrait, French vintage pamphlet, political leaflet, illustrated booklet, republican brochure\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AFW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54270436344135,"sku":"0de858bc-d1f1-4601-9d8d-b314653739e0","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0989\/5152\/8775\/files\/s-l1600_4b9caf8f-2296-4e07-a11e-3c0974887e28.jpg?v=1782971896","url":"https:\/\/shop.antiquefranceworldwide.com\/en\/products\/livret-ancien-des-francais-de-confiance-politique-vintage-annees-40-brochure","provider":"AFW","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
