Description
This old magazine is a copy of the illustrated children's monthly "MICHA", issue number 2 from 1987. The cover features a colorful and detailed drawing, typical of 1980s children's press, depicting two stylized hedgehogs in a playful and creative setting, surrounded by sewing items and plants. The illustration is rich in detail: balls of wool, scissors, a flowerpot, a fringed tablecloth, and various accessories visible on the table and floor.
The title "MICHA" appears in green capital letters on a white background, accompanied on the left by a drawn child's face and on the right by a smiling mouse head. The mention "ILLUSTRATED MONTHLY FOR CHILDREN" appears in the upper left under the title, specifying the editorial target. The issue number is clearly indicated: "2 / 1987" in black and blue, with ISSN 0208-1628 in the upper right.
A poem titled "GUESS WHAT IT IS" is printed on the cover, which is characteristic of educational children's magazines of that era. The color palette is vibrant: predominantly greens, blues, yellows, and reds, enhancing the attractive and retro feel of the magazine.
The magazine's format is that of a flexible periodical, with staple binding visible on the left edge. The upper left corner of the cover shows a slight fold, and the spine shows moderate wear consistent with period use. No other major defects are visible on the front face.
This issue of "MICHA" represents an authentic testimony to the French children's press of the 80s, with its distinctive graphics and playful and educational content. The illustrated motifs and layout immediately evoke the childish universe and editorial creativity of this period.
