The graphic style, the appearance of the cover, and the selection of subjects are representative of French interwar publishing, with a minimalist layout and paperback format. The background of the photo, consisting of shelves of old books, highlights the heritage character of this journal, often sought after for its historical and literary interest.

The mentions “Spectacles,” “Revue musicale,” “Chronique de la quinzaine,” and “Histoire politique” attest to the rich editorial content of this issue.
