Title page of 'Le Scandale de la Rue Boissière' by Albert Boissière

This is a close-up photograph of the title page of a French literary work titled 'Le Scandale de la Rue Boissière', written by Albert Boissière and published by Ernest Flammarion, Éditeur, in Paris. The page is printed on a medium-weight, cream-colored paper that shows significant signs of age-toning and oxidation, common in wood-pulp papers from the early 20th century. The typography features a traditional serif font with the title in all capitals. Centered on the page is the circular publisher's colophon for Flammarion. Notable condition issues include a small notch or tear at the top edge of the page, some light foxing or spotting throughout the paper surface, and fraying along the right vertical edge. The bottom text mentions translation rights reserved for all countries, specifically naming Sweden and Norway. Based on the publisher's address at 26 Rue Racine and the author's active period, this edition likely dates to the early 1900s to 1920s. The overall craftsmanship is typical of high-volume commercial publishing of that era, focused on clarity and utility.
