AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This old booklet, titled "The Class Struggles in France (1848-1850)", is a work by Karl Marx, followed by "The June Days of 1848" by Friedrich Engels. The copy presented is from the "Marxist Library" collection, number 22, published by Éditions Sociales Internationales, 24 rue Racine, Paris (VIe). The cover, visible in the photo, is light beige, with slightly textured paper, typical of mid-20th century French printing.

On the front, the inscriptions are printed in dark blue, in sober and legible characters. At the top, the handwritten mention "B.B" is repeated twice, which could correspond to an old library or private collection code. The entire text is centered, with Karl Marx's name highlighted, as well as the main title and subtitle. The Éditions Sociales Internationales logo is visible below the title, just above the publisher's address.

The booklet has a vertical rectangular format, typical of intellectual and political publications of this period. No visual or illustration appears on the cover, which reinforces the sober, institutional and historical aspect of the document. The paper shows a slight patina and some traces of use, including a slightly creased bottom left corner and a very slight discoloration at the bottom of the page.

The editorial style and layout, combined with the mention of the "Marxist Library", clearly place this booklet in the tradition of militant and academic editions of the 20th century. The visual suggests a printing prior to the 1970s, but without an explicit date on the cover, caution should be exercised regarding precise dating.
