Description

Old academic journal entitled Conférencia, Journal de l'Université des Annales, issue number 16 dated August 1, 1920. The cover features typical early 20th-century graphics, with a title in black capital letters and a stylized illustration of the Université des Annales building. The mention "14e année, 1919-1920" (14th year, 1919-1920) confirms its publication during the interwar period.

The visible side, on slightly yellowed cream paper, displays a table of contents detailing several lectures: "Les Grands Semeurs d?Idées : Pasteur" (The Great Sowers of Ideas: Pasteur), "Le Théâtre de Victor Hugo" (Victor Hugo's Theatre), and "Comment interpréter les Maîtres du Piano : Les Impressionnistes" (How to Interpret the Piano Masters: The Impressionists). The speakers and topics are printed in classic typefaces, typical of the intellectual press of the time, with a sober and functional layout.

The journal is folded in half with two staples visible on the spine, suggesting a classic stapled binding for this type of academic publication. No color illustrations appear on the cover; only a monochrome drawing of the building adorns the page. The name of the general director, Yvonne Sarcey, is clearly mentioned at the top of the first page.

The publisher's address, "51, Rue St-Georges, Paris," is printed at the bottom right, as is the original selling price ("Le N° 1 Franc"). The paper shows some signs of wear, stains, and handling marks, attesting to its age and authentic period.

Publication information, such as the academic year number and subscription terms, is also visible at the bottom of the page. The overall layout and typography perfectly match French editorial production of the 1920s.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The cover shows signs of use, small stains, and slight yellowing of the paper, with no apparent tears on the visible side.
