AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Visual Description

This old magazine is a copy of the illustrated monthly children's magazine "Micha," issue number 11 from 1986, as indicated on the cover. The front cover features very colorful graphics, typical of 1980s youth publications, with ink and watercolor illustrations depicting fairytale characters and anthropomorphic animals. Notably, there is a rooster, a hedgehog, a wolf, a bearded character dressed like a sailor, as well as elements of natural scenery like a fruit tree and the sea. The whole is punctuated with speech bubbles announcing the content of the issue, which reinforces the playful and educational aspect of the magazine.

At the top left is the magazine's logo with a stylized child's face in a red circle. To the right, another logo, this time with a bear's head, recalls the childish universe of the publication. The title "MICHA" is printed in green letters, surmounted by the mention "Illustrated monthly for children" and the publication languages (French, German, English, Spanish, Hungarian, Italian, Russian). The number "11/1986" is clearly visible, as is the ISSN (0298-1628) at the top right.

The very expressive cover is typical of international children's press from the 1980s, with a naive and vibrant graphic style. The dominant colors are yellow, green, blue, and red. The page presents several superimposed scenes, each introducing a story or tale from the magazine: Cocorik the rooster, the wolf, the hare, a musician on the sea, etc. Several page references are indicated next to the illustrations, suggesting a variety of content inside.

The visible overall condition shows some usual signs of wear: slightly dog-eared corners, small marks on the spine, and a slight curvature of the paper, without major tears or visible inscriptions on the cover. The whole remains very readable and attractive for a publication of this era.
