Figaro illustré
Figaro illustré was a Paris illustrated periodical published by J. Boussod, Manzi, Joyant & cie, covering the 1900 Exposition universelle for a general French readership interested in art and exhibitions. Its pages mix photographs and printed text, showing exhibition halls, decorative metalwork displays, and industrial machinery. A designer might take from them the ornate iron gates and balustrades, the crowded pavilion skylines, and the clean grid of photographs on printed pages.
