Published in Paris just months before the outbreak of World War I, this richly illustrated issue offers a remarkable snapshot of French women’s culture at the threshold between the Belle Époque and the modern era. Inside are fashion plates and embroidered dress designs, articles on interiors and modern furniture, beauty and medical columns, hairstyles, illustrated advertisements, and early 20th-century domestic advice, all rendered with exceptional graphic elegance.

The magazine includes striking period advertisements and photographic plates, fashion illustrations, and decorative typography, making it as compelling visually as it is historically. Subjects range from couture and needlework to champagne houses, cosmetics, health remedies, furniture, and modern domestic ideals.

A rare and evocative object for display or study, equally suited to a coffee table, shelf styling, or framing individual pages. An exceptional reference for designers, stylists, historians, and collectors of French fashion, advertising, and women’s history.
