Abstract
This issue's first page presents a half-page wood-engraving titled "Le Pêcheur et le petit Poisson." The second illustration is on 541, while the text of the fable is on 542. The second illustration shows the frying pan in which this little fish, hanging from a line, is about to be cooked. The larger scene seems quite literal. The expanse of the illustration makes it hard to find the little fish in the fisherman's hand. This issue is twelve pages long. L'Illustrateur des Dames et Demoiselles: Journal des Soirées de Famille 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 are three columns wide.
