Description
Old issue of the French magazine "Les Annales," dated August 1, 1928. The visible cover is printed on light blue paper, with a central black illustration depicting a standing woman holding a staff, in front of a stylized landscape. This engraving is marked "Bois de P. Perbetête" at the bottom right. The title "LES ANNALES" is inscribed at the top, in an Art Deco typography characteristic of the late 1920s.

The cover page mentions several authors and articles, including Alfred de Musset by Émile Henriot, texts by Gérard Bauer, Paul Morand by André Billy, as well as "L’Indochine en Zigzags" by Pierre Billotey, and "L’Enterrement d’Alcide" by Jean Lahovary. The texts are printed in black, with a layout typical of early 20th-century literary and cultural press.

The issue number and original price are printed at the bottom of the page: "1er Août 1928" on the left, and "Le N° 2 fr. 50" on the right. The paper shows a slight ripple visible on the edge, a sign of natural aging, with no apparent tears on the cover. The edges are slightly dulled, typical of a period copy handled with care but not restored.

The background of the photo shows a library filled with antique books, which highlights the heritage and authentic character of this periodical. No handwritten annotations or major defects are visible on the presented side.

The careful layout, engraved illustration, and list of renowned authors attest to the editorial quality of this publication, sought after for its documentary and aesthetic value. This issue is for those who appreciate old newspapers, literary magazines, and French editorial history.
