Abstract
Perhaps beginning with this issue was a series on La Fontaine's fables. This issue contains a full-page illustration featuring a cameo bust of La Fontaine surrounded by characters from his fables, with a book of them in front of the large cameo (p. 769). The book's title-page mentions A. Pastelot, who did all the fable illustrations in this series. The engraver has a signature in the lower right of this engraving: Henry Breval(s). Before (p. 767) and after this engraving is a substantial essay on La Fontaine by Charles Vincent, especially his life. I presume that this essay is an introduction to the series. By contrast with the other issues we have, this number does not have a fable item on its first page. This periodical newspaper of, usually at least, 18 pages began on January1, 1861. It seems to have been known as a "Journal de Mode." It carried items of interest to women, particularly fashion. Its masthead presents the same engraving of women gathered around sewing, piano playing and singing, reading, and painting. Pages were three columns wide.
