Published c. 1946, France by American Express.
8 pages counting wrapper covers. Text in English. Illustrated throughout.

Publisher's color lithographed pictorial paper wrappers. Scarce ephemeral publication which survives merely by chance.

Apparently distributed to American soldiers shortly after WWII.

Item is old and shows some signs of handling and time. Item is not new or in "new" condition.

Paper gently age worn, slight rubbing, rear cover creased, remains overall clean and attractive as a fragile survival.

Paper is lightly toned, signs of handling, small scattered spotting, internally still well preserved, tight, sound.

Still attractive on the shelf. The scarce item displays a pleasing and unique age patina and overall is in nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws easy to overlook or forgive.
