AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot features an original copy of the monthly magazine "Le Chasseur Français", dated September 1989, as indicated on the cover. The front page shows two hunters in period attire, accompanied by a hunting dog, holding a hare and a pheasant respectively, in a rural landscape typical of rural France. The title "LE CHASSEUR FRANÇAIS" appears prominently at the top of the cover, on a green and yellow background, immediately recognizable by specialized press enthusiasts.

The cover illustration, with its bright and contrasting colors (predominantly green, yellow, red, and sky blue), is typical of the 1980s, with a dense layout and colorful boxes for key features. Several taglines are noticeable, such as "SPÉCIAL OUVERTURE" (SPECIAL OPENING), "Les prévisions des présidents" (Presidents' forecasts), "La saison s’annonce très bonne" (The season looks very good), and "DOSSIER DOUZE COUTEAUX DE CHASSE AU CRIBLE" (FEATURE TWELVE HUNTING KNIVES REVIEWED), which attest to the rich editorial content of this issue.

The bottom left corner of the cover indicates the presence of a supplement or gift: "Le calendrier du chasseur" (The hunter's calendar). The barcode, reference L1744, and original price (12.50 F) are also visible at the bottom right, characteristic elements of French publications from that period.

The magazine features a soft binding, typical of illustrated press magazines from the late 20th century. The condition visible in the photo shows a slightly curved cover, with some reflections due to the light, but no major snags or tears visible on the front. The colors remain well preserved, with no apparent discoloration.

This magazine is an authentic testament to French hunting culture from the late 1980s. The graphic style, typography, and general presentation are representative of specialized press of the era, and will appeal to those looking for archival documents on hunting, rural life, and French traditions.
