This issue, dated from the second half of the 1980s (bi-monthly from June 15 to 30, 1979, mentioned at the bottom of the cover), features a special report dedicated to Madagascar with a story about Sakalava fishermen, illustrated by a full-page photograph of a man standing in a pirogue, wearing green shorts, a blue t-shirt, and a patterned red scarf, holding a large fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe layout reflects the typical aesthetic of youth magazines from this period, with highlighted boxes, vivid colors, and distinctive typography. The subtitle \"un journal + un dossier\" (a journal + a special report) and the magazine number \"N°178\" are visible in the upper right. A box in the lower left announces the content: \"UNIVERS la nature le jour et la nuit\" (UNIVERSE nature day and night).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover shows visible signs of wear: slightly dog-eared corners, some folds and rubbing on the spine and edges, typical of a handled vintage magazine but still generally in good structural condition. The central photograph is clear, the colors remain well preserved despite a slight patina of the paper, accentuating the retro charm of the item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe magazine is in the classic format of illustrated youth journals, with no explicit dimensions mentioned on the visible cover. The spine and back are not visible in the photo, so no information can be provided about them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis Okapi issue attracts with the richness of its iconography and the diversity of its subjects, here centered on Madagascar and the Sakalava culture, while integrating naturalist themes (\"nature day and night\") very popular in the youth press of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
