Occident: Le Bi-Mensuel Franco-Espagnol. Year I, no. 1 (25 October 1937) through Year II, no. 39 (30 May 1939) (all published)

Paris: Imprimerie Georges Lang, 1937-1939. Folio (58.5 x 38.5 cm). Original illustrated newsprint self-wrappers; each issue approximately 8 pp. Evidence of previous folds, some light toning, small tear to first page of no. 34, overall very good. A complete run of all 39 issues of the Paris-based periodical, in tabloid format, dedicated to the solidarity of the French and Spanish people during the Spanish Civil War. This cultural journal contains articles by noted international cultural figures on various aspects of the war, Spanish culture, French interests in Spain, and other subjects, and is profusely illustrated throughout after photographs, caricatures, political cartoons, reproductions of posters, etc.

The fourth issue contains the "Manifest aux intellectuels espagnols", a manifesto in support of General Franco and Franco's Spanish intellectuals, signed by intellectuals from various right-wing factions.

The scarce serial (as of June 2024 OCLC locates scattered holdings in North American institutions, not all complete runs) presents a compendium of in-depth articles and political analysis, but is perhaps most impressive for its rich trove of visually arresting images, with many photographs showing the destruction wrought during the war.
