Magazin des adolescentes, ou, Dialogues d'une sage gouvernante avec ses élèves
Magazin des adolescentes is a French moral-instruction book for young women, written by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont and published in 1781 under the imprint of F.-B. de Félice. Its copperplate engravings show dialogues between a governess and her pupils in domestic, garden and street settings. A designer could draw on their clear, uncluttered staging of groups of figures, with tree-lined gardens, interiors and walkways set in careful perspective.
