Good binding, with minimal traces of use, fine interior notwithstanding a small waterstain in the lower margins of the first 5 leaves. Interesting illustrated monthly general intrest periodical which is testimony of the close relation which existed between France and Argentina. As a matter of fact French immigration into Argentina was at its highest in the years covered by this periodical. The French were the 3rd largest group of immigrants, after the Italians and the Spaniards. French culture (especially architecture) had a great influence on the city of Buenos Aires; named by many the Paris of South-America. The periodical is very rare. There are only 3 entries in the OCLC catalogue. The BN in Paris , with the largest run of this item, lacks all issues after nr. 36. ( it existed until at least issue 48). . The first 37 Issues were published and printed in Paris (printer Alcan-Lévy in the rue Chauchat). From issue 38 onwards printing and publishing was transferred to Buenos Aires (printer Jacob Peuser). We present here a fine bound copy of the first ,12 issues. .
