Description

The magazine shown in the photo is an old copy of "Le Nouveau Pif et son gadget," No. 792. The brightly colored cover features a "Smash! Special Tennis" theme illustrated with a photograph of a tennis court in action, viewed from the stands. A large, stylized pink tennis ball motif occupies the center, contrasting with the photographic background. In the upper left, the yellow corner displays the iconic title "Pif" in red letters, accompanied by the mention "10F" and the issue number (792). A medallion in the upper right shows the issue's gadget: "le bijou vitrail" (the stained-glass jewel), illustrated by a silver pendant with visible heart patterns.

The visual hook "SMASH!" occupies the lower half of the cover, with thick blue and pink letters on a black background. On the yellow band at the bottom, the mention "Hit-parade des posters: Yannick Noah – Kim Wilde" indicates the presence of content related to these personalities in this issue. The magazine is in paperback format, typical of youth weeklies from the 80s.

The upper left corner explicitly mentions "Le Nouveau Pif et son gadget," confirming the publication's identity. The left edge shows signs of wear and rubbing, with some creases and marks, characteristic of a used copy.

The visual of the crowd and players on the clay court, as well as the general aesthetic, are typical of illustrated youth magazines from this period. The overall look evokes a colorful and dynamic graphic style, characteristic of vintage magazines from the 1980s.

Condition

Used copy sold as is, showing signs of wear: cover with creases, dulled corners, small visible marks on the spine. The general integrity of the cover remains good for a magazine of this era.
