Description

An old issue of the French literary magazine Revue des Deux Mondes, seen here in its edition dated January 15, 1935. The cover features a sober typography on cream paper, typical of intellectual periodicals of the early 20th century. At the top of the page is the title "REVUE DES DEUX MONDES" in capital letters, followed by the mention "François Buloz, fondateur" (founder). The overall layout is classic, with a table of contents detailing the main articles and authors of the issue.

The topics covered, clearly listed on the front cover, reflect the cultural and political diversity of the era: literature, world politics, scientific exploration, history, and entertainment. Contributions by Maurice Bedel, Pearl Buck, René Pinon, and other renowned intellectual figures are featured. The mention "Cent cinquième année" (One hundred and fifth year) attests to the publication's age and longevity.

The visible format is that of a paperback magazine, with a flexible cover that appears slightly yellowed, typical of uncoated paper prints from the 1930s. The bottom corners show slight signs of wear, including a distinct fold on the bottom right, and the spine shows some rubbing, signs of authentic use and its age.

At the bottom of the cover, the publisher's address is found: "PARIS – 15, rue de l’Université", as well as the original price "6 francs" and the number of pages in the issue ("240 pages"). The magazine is photographed in front of a well-stocked bookshelf, adding an authentic context to its presentation.

This issue is a tangible testament to French intellectual life in the 1930s, both through the choice of subjects and the material presentation of the publication. All visible elements (paper, graphics, table of contents, general condition) confirm its authenticity and its period dating.
