This is a 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 120 years ago. The use of colour is notable for an antique newspaper. Some great artwork.
