Figaro illustré
Figaro illustré was a French illustrated periodical published in Paris by J. Boussod, Manzi, Joyant & cie, covering art and the 1900 Exposition universelle for a general reading public. Its pages show halls and interiors with ornate decorative schemes, a domed pavilion with crowds, and a tall tower with arcaded galleries, rendered in halftone photographs. A designer might take from them the period's dense ornament, painted wall panels, and architectural massing of exhibition buildings.
