Description

This document is a period copy of the magazine "Conférencia", journal of the Université des Annales. It is issue number 17, dated August 15, 1920, corresponding to its 14^th year of publication (1919-1920). The cover, visible in the photo, features dark blue letterpress printing on matte paper, typical of early 20^th-century editorial productions. At the top of the page is the mention of the general director, Yvonne Sarcey.

The cover page presents an illustration of the "Université des Annales" building in engraving style, placed below the main title. The entire text is elegantly structured, with careful layout and period typography, faithful to the academic and cultural magazines of the 1920s. The table of contents highlights several lectures and articles signed by renowned speakers, such as Hélène Vacaresco, Gaston Rageot, Gabriel Faure, Maurice Emmanuel, as well as a mention of Debussy for the music section.

The journal offers a concrete overview of Parisian intellectual and cultural life during the interwar period, with varied themes: Romanian frescoes, masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance, interpretation by piano masters, and a musical article on Debussy. The publisher's address, 51 rue St-Georges in Paris, is clearly visible at the bottom of the cover.

The overall condition, based on the visible side, shows a homogeneous patina of the paper, with slight signs of use at the corners and edges, characteristic of old prints. The printing remains clear and legible, with no apparent stains on the cover. No major defects are observable on the photographed side.
