AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This magazine is an old copy of the quarterly cinema review "Travelling", issue 2. The cover, predominantly black with white titles, features a color photograph of an astronaut in a spacesuit, in a futuristic cockpit, evoking the science fiction cinema aesthetic of the 1980s. The title "Travelling" appears in large print at the top of the page, followed by the mention "Revue trimestrielle de cinéma - n°2" (Quarterly cinema review - no. 2).

The sober and professional layout, typical of specialized magazines of that period, highlights several key topics in cinema of the time, mentioned in capital letters on the cover: "Travelling aux USA", "Henri Verneuil explosif!" (Henri Verneuil explosive!), "Enfin! Le vrai visage d'Avoriaz 84..." (Finally! The true face of Avoriaz 84...), "Dossier Bob Fosse" (Bob Fosse Feature), "De Duel à Christine : tempête sous un capot" (From Duel to Christine: storm under a hood), and announcements about major upcoming films.

The spine of the magazine shows the code "M-2683-2 - 15 F", indicating the issue number and original price in French francs, which confirms its French edition from the 80s. The review is printed on glossy paper, with graphics characteristic of vintage cinema publishing, combining photomontage and striking typography.

The side visible in the photo shows no major defects: the cover shows slight handling marks and small traces on the spine, but overall it remains in very good visual condition for a periodical of that era. No pronounced creases or tears are visible on this side.

This issue is aimed at enthusiasts of cinema history, cinephile culture, and specialized press, offering a visual and editorial testament to French journalistic production of the 1980s. It falls within the tradition of vintage and old cinema reviews, sought after for their iconography and in-depth features.

Did you know? The "Travelling" review was one of the few French publications in the 1980s to dedicate its features to both international cinema and major genre film events, such as the Avoriaz festival, which marked the history of fantasy in France. This type of periodical remains a valuable source for tracing the trends and debates of cinema at the time.
