Description

This document is an original copy of the French academic journal Conférencia, journal of the Université des Annales, dated September 15, 1920 (No. 19, 14th year, 1919-1920). The cover features a clean typographic design, typical of early 20th-century intellectual publications, with a monochrome illustration of a university building on the front. The title "Conférencia" is printed in bold, modern type on a cream background, slightly yellowed with age.

Below the title, the table of contents details several major conferences of the era: Victor Hugo's theatre, Romanian frescoes, Julie de Lespinasse's music, and childcare, with a complete list of speakers and themes. The texts are clear and legible, with a structured layout characteristic of Parisian intellectual periodicals from the early last century.

The journal is stapled on the left side, with a soft, matte cover, free of superfluous decorations, evoking academic editions intended for the dissemination of knowledge. The paper has an ivory tint, marked by a slight period patina, and some traces of use due to its age, visible mainly along the edges.

At the bottom of the cover, there are subscription details and the publisher's address in Paris (61, rue St-Georges), reinforcing the authenticity and Parisian roots of this intellectual publication. The typography and structure of the table of contents reflect the documentary rigor and academic seriousness of the journal.

Condition

Used item sold as is. Some handling marks, slightly creased corners, and general paper patina, with no major tears visible on the presented side. The cover remains legible and complete.
