An original issue of the iconic French weekly L’Illustration, published in Paris more than a century ago. These beautiful journals are little time capsules of France, filled with period illustrations, photographs, advertisements and stories documenting French life and world events as they were unfolding.

Each issue retains its wonderfully aged original paper and elegant typography—the kind of authentic French ephemera that is increasingly difficult to find intact. Beautiful displayed on a coffee table, tucked into a collection of antique books, or opened to a favorite illustration and framed.

This listing is for one original issue. Please choose your preferred date/issue where applicable. Expect age-appropriate toning, small marks and edge wear consistent with an antique paper piece over 100 years old.

The 1911 edition has some significant discoloration on the front, and has been priced accordingly, but the 1914 ones just have overall fading (mass color printing technology was in its infancy so the ink tends to fade a bit after 112 years.  Pages photographed are from random shots from these five editions. 

Authentic antique from France—not a reproduction.
