The visible cover features a color photograph of Toulon station and its urban environment, with a lively scene of travelers on the platform, palm trees, and modern buildings in the background. The title \"Toulon et le Var\" is displayed in large black letters on the lower part of the cover. The distinctive \"LA VIE DU RAIL\" logo appears in the upper left corner, on a red and black background, accompanied by a frieze evoking stylized wagons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe publication date is clearly indicated on the cover: \"Sunday, July 1st, 1962\", with the magazine number \"N° 853\" and the original selling price \"0.75 NF\". Additional information such as prices for Belgium, Switzerland, and Italy are also printed in a red insert at the bottom right. The central illustration highlights the summer atmosphere and the station's busy nature, with many people visible in period clothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe format of the magazine, visible in the photo, is that of a flexible, stapled magazine, typical of periodical publications from the 1960s. The paper's texture appears satin with a slight sheen under natural light, and the cover shows a marked vertical crease in the center, likely due to storage or handling. The printing colors remain vibrant despite slight signs of wear and patina, particularly on the edges and at the central crease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition perfectly illustrates the graphic and editorial style of the early 1960s, with a dynamic layout and a documentary photograph characteristic of French railway press of the time. No other details of the interior are visible in the photo, but the cover suggests content rich in reports, features, and news related to railways and the Var region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible inscriptions and graphic elements are faithfully transcribed: \"TOULON ET LE VAR\", \"N° 853\", \"DIMANCHE 1er JUILLET 1962\", \"0.75 NF\", as well as the mention \"(C. Louis PILLOUX)\" which could indicate the photographer or the author of the main report. The magazine is placed on a wooden surface, illuminated by daylight, which emphasizes the vintage aspect of the object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item sold as is.
