Visual Description

This old magazine is an issue of the famous periodical "Le Chasseur Français". The cover shown in the photo is predominantly bright blue with a yellow border at the top featuring the title "LE CHASSEUR FRANÇAIS". The main illustration shows a man fishing on a beach, rod in hand, wearing a yellow tank top and light blue trousers. The background evokes a seascape under a clear sky, typical of 1980s nature press photography.

Several article titles are printed in yellow on the cover: "CANNES, MOULINETS: LE BON CHOIX" (RODS, REELS: THE RIGHT CHOICE), "Réussir l’ouverture du blanc" (Successful whitefish opening), "Monsieur Sanglier vous parle" (Mr. Boar talks to you), "Chauffage: les pompes à chaleur" (Heating: heat pumps), "Les algues qui guérissent" (Healing algae). A red banner at the bottom right announces the feature "SUR LES CHEMINS DE COMPOSTELLE" (ON THE ROADS OF COMPOSTELA).

At the bottom of the cover, the reference "M 1291-1024-8 F" and the publication date "JUIN 1982" (JUNE 1982) are visible. A dark green marble-patterned border frames the cover, accentuating the retro aesthetic typical of French periodicals of that era. The item shows visible signs of use: slightly dog-eared corners, handling marks, and the patinated appearance of the paper, all characteristics of a used magazine preserved for several decades.

The spine and interior of the magazine are not visible in the photo; only the front cover is shown. The texture of the paper suggests printing on semi-gloss paper, typical for magazines of this period.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The cover shows signs of wear, including dog-eared corners and slight handling marks, with no major tears visible on the front.
