This is a collection of genuine vintage French newspaper illustrated supplement. Each one has 8 pages with either 2 or 3 full page coloured etching illustrations with features and advertising filling the other pages. A fascinating insight into French life from over 100 years ago. The use of colour is notable for an antique newspaper. Some great artwork. They have been bound by somebody in chronological order but we cannot confirm if all editions are present and complete. If you are after a particular edition get in touch and we will confirm if that one is there. These are in quite a fragile state. They have significant signs of age, use and storage as detailed below. Please bear in mind these are original 100+ year fragile old newspapers with associated wear and tear.
This ones are from 1897. Only some of the magazines from this year are present. They run from January to May. They have not been checked for completion. We have a lot of these bundles to list and individual editions over the coming months.
