Description

Old issue of the literary magazine "Revue des Deux Mondes" dated December 1, 1934, visible on the cover. This is an iconic French periodical, presented here in its original paper form, with a soft beige cover, typical of editions from the first half of the 20th century. The object shows a sober presentation, with black print on a light background. The cover features the main title in large capital letters, accompanied by the mention "François Buloz, founder" and the publisher's address in Paris, 15 rue de l'Université.

The list of main articles and authors is clearly visible on the cover: François Mauriac, Louis Bertrand, Virginia Woolf, Edmond Pilon, among others. The whole reflects the editorial richness of this issue, which has 240 pages (information indicated at the bottom of the page). The spine of the book, visible on the left, shows slight aging of the paper, with some signs of wear and a small missing piece or fold on the upper right corner of the cover. There is also a slight curve in the cover, typical of old books that have been handled.

The design of the cover page is characteristic of the 1930s, with elegant typography and a structured layout, centering the text and titles. No decoration or illustration is visible on this side, editorial sobriety being favored. The printing of the article titles and authors is clear, facilitating the identification of the editorial content. The issue is clearly dated and identified as part of the "one hundred and fourth year" of the magazine.

The back of the magazine (spine) shows natural wear, testifying to its age and handling. The binding appears to be original, with no visible restoration in the photo. The paper has a uniform patina, with slight stains and wear consistent with a vintage work. The edges are slightly creased, without affecting the observable structural integrity of the magazine on this side.

The magazine is photographed on a wooden table, in a library setting, which highlights its authentic character and its interest for lovers of literary history or old press. No other accessories or elements are included in the photo.

Condition

Used book, sold as is. The cover shows signs of wear, a damaged upper right corner, handling marks and a uniform patina. The page block appears complete on the visible side.
