AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot features an old copy of the illustrated children's magazine "MICHA," issue number 3 from 1985. The cover displays a vibrant and colorful illustration typical of 1980s children's publications, with several characters drawn in a retro graphic style. It depicts a playful scene around a tree, featuring children, a leaping cat, and stylized urban elements. Dominant colors are green, yellow, red, and blue, emphasizing the joyful and dynamic visual appeal.

The top banner of the cover clearly indicates the reference: "MICHA," "3/1985," as well as the ISSN 0208-1628. It specifies that it is an "illustrated monthly for children," with multilingual publication (languages mentioned: German, English, Spanish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Russian). On the right, an "IN THIS ISSUE" insert presents several illustrated contents of the magazine in colorful vignettes, including animals (deer, giraffe), a pair of glasses, and caricature characters, typical of children's press of that period.

The layout, lettering, and graphic style are emblematic of the 1980s. The cover also features two mascot drawings in medallions, adding an extra humorous touch. The condition of the spine and corners shows a slight patina and some signs of wear, consistent with a period item that has been read and handled.

This issue, with its graphics, publication date, and magazine format, is fully in line with the tradition of vintage French illustrated children's press. It will be perfect for research related to retro press, 1980s children's culture, or period illustration.
