Scarce vintage François Album No. 12, published in Quebec by Centrale de la J.E.C. / Éditions Fides. This bound French-language youth periodical collection dates from 1951 and offers a fascinating snapshot of mid-century French-Canadian culture.

The richly illustrated contents combine comics, Canadian history, sports, fashion, music, Catholic youth material, stories and contemporary news.
