AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This document, visible in the photo, is an original copy of the university journal "Conférencia," subtitled "Journal de l'Université des Annales." It is issue number 2 of the 16th year, dated January 1, 1922 (period 1921-1922), under the general direction of Yvonne Sarcey. The cover, in cream and blue tones, features a central illustration depicting a portrait of Queen Marie-Antoinette.

The cover page displays a sober and elegant typography, characteristic of early 20th-century intellectual publications. The titles and subtitles are printed in blue, contrasting with the slightly yellowed paper, which is marked with age-related traces (stains, marks, surface wear) visible in the photo.

The table of contents highlights several lectures and articles, including "L'Affaire du Collier" by Me Henri-Robert, "La Terre et l’Âme des Petites Patries" by M. Edmond Haraucourt, practical cooking courses by Dr. Hemmerdinger, and a presentation on coffee, tea, and chocolate by Dr. de Pomiane-Pozerski. These themes demonstrate the cultural and intellectual richness of the review.

The observed format is that of a stapled review, typical of periodical publications of the era. The upper and lower corners show a slight curl, and the binding is visible on the left. The publisher's address, "5, Rue La-Bruyère, Paris," is at the bottom of the page, as are the subscription terms.

The photograph only highlights the cover page; no information about the back or interior is visible. The document is displayed upright, against a wooden bookshelf background, reinforcing its character as an archive and an antique university collectible.
