Description

This old magazine features a black and white photograph on its cover of a French soldier from World War I, sitting in a trench, an emblematic illustration of the exhaustion of combatants in 1918. The title "De guerre lasse 1918" (War-weary 1918) is printed in large black and blue letters on a cream background, accompanied by a quote from Louis Aragon. The overall front page is distinguished by its sober graphic style, typical of commemorative publications on the Great War, and by its informative and memorial layout.

At the bottom of the cover, a red band lists several themes covered in this issue: the 2nd Battle of the Marne, the American presence, the experience of civilians, military transport, absence, mourning, the end of the conflict, and faces marked by war and the post-war period. This presentation highlights the diversity of subjects covered, focusing on the year 1918 and the end of hostilities.

The Libération newspaper logo is clearly visible, indicating that it is an advertising supplement associated with issue 8454 dated July 11, 2008. There is also a mention of the Conseil Général de l'Aisne, a partner of this publication, as well as the warning "Cannot be sold separately".

The soft paper cover has a matte finish with quality printing, true to the style of contemporary periodicals dedicated to history and memory. No major defects are visible on the front, apart from some slight signs of wear and minor creases, normal signs of a used copy that has stood the test of time.

This magazine falls into the category of historical periodicals with an educational and commemorative purpose. It is ideal for any enthusiast of contemporary history, iconography of the Great War, or vintage French press.
