Description
This issue of the children's magazine "Micha" is an illustrated monthly aimed at children, dated July 1985 (No. 7/1985). The cover features a colorful drawing typical of 1980s youth publications, with a maritime scene highlighting a mustachioed man and a little girl in a sailor shirt, observing a black bird in full flight near a birdhouse. The illustration stands out for its vibrant colors and expressive lines, characteristic of the childlike graphic style of that era.
The top banner displays the title "MICHA" in large green letters, accompanied by a childlike portrait in a yellow medallion on the left and a stylized bear's head on the right. Below the title are the mentions: "Illustrated monthly for children," the issue reference (7/1985), and the ISSN 0208-1628. The magazine also announces publication in several languages, including French, German, English, Spanish, Hungarian, Italian, and Russian.
On the right side of the cover, a column highlights the main topics of the issue, with illustrated thumbnails and page numbers: an illustration of a beehive (p. 8), a yellow notebook (p. 10), a scene of children observing animals (p. 20), and a photograph of a tiger (p. 22). This suggests varied content, mixing stories, discoveries, and educational sections, true to the purpose of this type of children's press.
The magazine is printed on flexible paper, with a satin-finish cover and slightly rounded corners. The overall visible condition shows some signs of age, including a slight patina and small marks on the upper edge, with no apparent major structural defects on the exposed side.
