RARE - Full year compilation of Le Pot au Feu Lady's Magazine, 1896
Le Pot au Feu was a French women’s magazine published in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, devoted to domestic life and household management. Named after the traditional French stew, it emphasized the central role of the home and the art of cooking, but also offered advice on fashion, etiquette, child-rearing, and culture. Unlike more luxurious fashion journals of the time, Le Pot au Feu was practical and accessible, appealing to middle-class women who sought guidance in creating a refined yet well-managed household. Today, it is valued by collectors and historians for the insights it provides into everyday life, gender roles, and the domestic ideals of the period.
I especially love the little parts that show where in Paris you could obtain some of the recipe ingredients!
A complete compilation for a single year is relatively scarce, especially for one as early as 1896. It is in great condition for its age. Pages are tight and there is light wear to the cover.
