The main, full-page illustration presents a stylized face in profile, adorned with floral motifs and red and black shapes, accompanied by a white dove. The work is signed \"Portocarrero\" in the lower left, paying homage to the Cuban artist René Portocarrero, famous for his colorful and expressive compositions. The layout is typical of the 1970s, with two-color printing (black and red) on newsprint, and a militant graphic style characteristic of the revolutionary press of that period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe magazine's masthead specifies that it is the \"Organe officiel du Comité Central du Parti Communiste de Cuba\" (Official Organ of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba). The date \"La Havane, 3 juin 1979\" (Havana, June 3, 1979) is clearly visible, confirming the publication date. A red box at the bottom of the page announces: \"A l’occasion de l’Année internationale de l’enfant – Place aux pionniers!\" (On the occasion of the International Year of the Child – Make way for the pioneers!) with a note about a supplement inserted between pages 10 and 11. This visual, understated and committed, perfectly reflects the aesthetic of Cuban revolutionary propaganda from the late 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe magazine is displayed open flat, showing only the front cover.

The overall condition appears good, with some handling marks, but no major tears or stains apparent on the visible side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis magazine perfectly illustrates the committed press and graphic style used by official Cuban publications for the dissemination of political and social messages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
