AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
This lot features an original copy of "Le Chasseur Français" magazine, dated February 1989. The visible cover stands out with its bright green frame and distinctive yellow lettering, immediately recognizable to enthusiasts of specialized nature and hunting press. The cover photo shows two men in outdoor attire, one wearing a blue, white, and red pompom hat, holding a large pike, which clearly illustrates the fishing theme highlighted in this issue.
The magazine title, "LE CHASSEUR FRANÇAIS", occupies the top part of the cover, accompanied by the month and year: "FÉVRIER 1989". Several topics are announced on the front cover, such as "PÊCHE Le brochet en eaux closes, le sandre et la perche en eaux vives" (FISHING Pike in still waters, zander and perch in fast-flowing waters), "BIEN PRÉPARER L’OUVERTURE DE LA TRUITE" (PREPARING WELL FOR TROUT SEASON OPENING), "FARIOS : LES SOUCHES LOCALES MENACÉES" (BROWN TROUT: LOCAL STOCKS THREATENED), "S’INITIER À L’ANGLAISE" (LEARNING THE ENGLISH METHOD), "CHASSE Le cerf de Corse sauvé" (HUNTING The Corsican red deer saved), and "ARTS MÉNAGERS Les grandes nouveautés" (HOME ECONOMICS The big new products).
The layout and central photograph evoke the graphic style of 1980s magazine press, with bold colors and easily identifiable typographies from that period. The spine of the magazine is visible, suggesting a perfect-bound edition with a square spine, typical of this type of monthly review.
The original price, "12,00 F", is printed at the bottom right, just above the red barcode. The overall condition of the cover shows a glossy appearance with some light handling marks, typical of a vintage magazine that has been browsed, with no major apparent defects on the visible front.
This issue is for anyone looking for an authentic review on hunting, fishing, nature, or home economics, published in France at the end of the 1980s, and serves as a visual and editorial testament to that era.
