Description

Old issue of the French magazine "Les Annales", dated January 15, 1928, presented here with its original cover. This publication features a cover illustrated with a black and white rural scene, typical of the editorial aesthetic of the 1920s. The title "LES ANNALES" appears at the top of the page, in a typography characteristic of the period.

At the center of the cover, a large woodcut illustration signed "Bois de Schulz" depicts a caravan led by oxen, moving under a cloudy sky. This graphic composition, very representative of the editorial style of the interwar period, adds an authentic touch to the object.

Below the illustration are listed several article titles and notable authors: Roland Dorgelès, Jacques Seydoux, Paul Haurigot, as well as mentions of unpublished memoirs and texts by Pirandello and André Dumas. These contents testify to the intellectual richness of the magazine and its renowned literary and political collaborations.

The bottom of the cover clearly mentions the publication date "15 Janvier 1928", the issue number "Le N° 2" and the price "fr. 50". The background of the cover is a pale, slightly bluish green, typical of prints from that era, with a slight patina effect visible on the edges, a sign of the paper's natural aging.

The visible condition shows slightly creased corners and moderate wear on the upper edge, with no apparent tears on the front. No other major defects are observable on the cover presented.
