Description

This old magazine is a copy of the periodical "D.I.", dated the week of June 19 to 25, 1943, identified as number 133. The cover, predominantly black, white, and red, features a bust-length photographic portrait of Suzy Carrier, an ingenue star, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a structured jacket typical of 1940s women's fashion.

The main title of this edition, "Enfer de l’espionnage" (Hell of Espionage), is highlighted at the bottom of the cover on a wide red band. The price insert indicates "3 fr". The magazine's logo, "D.I.", appears in the upper left corner in a red and black cartridge, reinforcing the retro graphic identity of this vintage publication.

The printing is in two-color black and red on newsprint, with a visible matte texture in the image. The cover photograph evokes the characteristic aesthetic of illustrated press during World War II, combining celebrity portrait and current events theme.

In the lower left, the mention "Suzy Carrier vedette ingénue" (Suzy Carrier ingenue star) is printed in small white letters. The spine of the magazine shows slight wear, typical of old newsprint, and the corners are modestly dulled, with no major tears visible on the presented face.

This issue illustrates the Occupation period with its espionage themes and the graphic style specific to the French illustrated press of the early 1940s. The cover features a female cinema figure, accentuating the historical and visual interest of the object.
