Description

This document is an original copy of the magazine "Conférencia – Journal de l’Université des Annales", issue 12, dated June 1, 1922 (16th year, 1921-1922), under the general direction of Yvonne Sarcey, as indicated on the cover. The magazine features a soft cream cover with dark blue letterpress printing. A black and white portrait of Mr. Fernand Gregh is centered on the front cover, accompanied by hierarchically arranged titles and editorial information.

The table of contents visible on the cover announces varied content: lectures on love in literature, young loves, poems, lectures on small homelands and the Berry region, as well as practical cooking classes and music. The authors and lecturers mentioned include Fernand Gregh, Marcel Plaisant, and Dr. E. Pozerski. The typical 1920s layout, the use of classic typography, and the organization of the text testify to the academic editorial style of this period.

The magazine is presented in an old library setting, with shelves filled with period books in the background, reinforcing the authenticity and historical character of the object. The edges of the document show patina and traces of use consistent with a magazine over a century old, without any major defects being visible on the displayed side.

The unit selling price (1 franc) and the publication address in Paris (6, rue La Bruyère, Paris 9e) are listed at the bottom of the page, as are the subscription terms, typical details of early 20th-century periodicals. The magazine is part of the "Journal de l’Université des Annales" series, a cultural institution renowned for its lectures and intellectual publications aimed at the educated general public.

The cover, well-preserved for its age, has a matte appearance and perfectly legible inscriptions. No illustrative decoration other than the central portrait is visible on this side. The whole offers a faithful testament to the French intellectual press of the 1920s.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Traces of wear and patina visible on the cover, with no apparent structural defect on the displayed side.
