Figaro illustré
Figaro illustré was a Paris periodical published by J. Boussod, Manzi, Joyant & cie, covering art and the 1900 Exposition universelle for a general readership. Its pages pair reproduced paintings with columns of printed text, and the pictures show a seated draughtsman at a table, an 18th-century garden fête with costumed couples under trees, and a wooded landscape with a figure. A designer might take from them the layered page layout of image blocks set against justified text and the soft tonal halftone of old reproductions.
