Description

This document is an original copy of the magazine "Conférencia, Journal de l’Université des Annales", dated October 1st, 1921 (15th year, N°20). The cover features a typical early 20th-century layout, with elegant and structured typography, dominant in French intellectual publications of the era. The paper has a cream tint, slightly yellowed with time, indicating a natural patina linked to its age.

The front cover features a black and white photograph of Mr. Henry Bataille, in a contemplative pose, framed by a discreet line. The editorial information is clearly legible: the general director mentioned is Yvonne Sarcey. The table of contents highlights conferences on poetry and great classical roles, as well as articles on music, with speakers such as Mr. Henry Bataille and Mr. Louis Schneider. The magazine also mentions a tribute to Sarah Bernhardt and a detailed list of contributors, typical of university journals of this period.

The format is that of a French-style stapled magazine, with a soft cover and monochrome blue-black printing on cream paper. No additional illustration is visible on the cover, apart from the central portrait. The price at the time is indicated: "Le N° 1 Franc". The publisher's address, 5 rue La Bruyère, Paris, is printed at the bottom of the page.

The overall condition appears good for a print of this era: the cover shows slight wear at the corners, with no tears or major stains visible on the presented side. The edges of the paper show a homogeneous patina, reinforcing the authentic and vintage character of the document. No handwritten annotations are apparent on the cover.

This type of old university journal is aimed at those interested in the history of ideas, literature, or documentation on the great figures of the French intellectual world of the 1920s. The graphic style and presentation are characteristic of publications of literary conferences and debates from the interwar period.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Usual patina and slight wear visible on the cover. No major apparent defects on the visible side.
