Binding format and presentation notes:

• Nos. 1 and 3-21 held as original separate issues in original covers. Very large-format (slightly taller and considerably wider than A4) staplebound pamphlets. All references to Copy A in the condition notes above refer to these separate issues.
• All from No. 1 to 29 (= all published) additionally held in bound form as part of a quarter-leather vol. (scuffed) with cloth-covered boards (heavily worn at outer corners; cloth also torn along lower half of outer edge of front board) – also including original covers, but all issues uniformly trimmed at margins with some loss of peripheral text and pictures from covers. Binding of this vol. cracked after the front cover of the first issue, but cords beneath strong and front cover firmly adhered to preceding ffep.
• Each issue typically printed in triple columns, and heavily illustrated with monochrome photographs.
• Rear covers after that of the first issue typically integrate general content.
• The first four issues are wholly unpaginated.
• Nos. 26 and 28 are printed in blue ink throughout. The others are all printed entirely in black.

 

[1] The loss of the Quai de Passy address appears to coincide with the departure of Choisy as editor.

[2] At this point, it becomes by design a monthly, and is expanded to 24 pages per issue inc. covers, from 16 in all previous issues. But the title is not updated to reflect this change until two months later. (The word ‘hebdomadaire’ means ‘weekly’.)
