Rare and Precious: A Century-Old French Travel Magazine, Le Pays de France - The Final Issue

A Century of French Travel: Le Pays de France's Final Pre-War Issue Dimensions: 36*30cm Pages: 31 Le Pays de France was founded on May 10, 1914, as a monthly periodical. Its initial purpose was to serve as an official French publication for introducing travel destinations. However, after just three issues, the magazine ceased publication in July 1914 with the outbreak of World War I. Two months after the war began, on November 12, 1914, it was revamped and relaunched as a weekly periodical, dedicated to reporting on the war efforts across France. Consequently, the publication ended with the war's conclusion, with its final issue dated December 26, 1918. Having existed for a mere five years, these publications are scarce. Given its connection to World War I and its century-old history, it holds significant collectible value. This particular issue is a rare find from Le Pays de France, published on July 10, 1914 – the last issue before the First World War. Initially a monthly, the magazine had only released three issues by May 1914, making this the final one in that early series. Each issue contains multiple pages, offering the opportunity for individual framing and collection, imbued with historical significance. # Other items shown in photos are not included.
