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. The pictures here are pages of printed text with engraved views of the Hungarian pavilion, a pavilion facade with arcaded colonnade, and a formal portrait of a bearded man in a dark suit, with a plate of small type on the last page. A designer might take from them the architectural engraving style of the period, with fine crosshatched line work on stone masonry and dense, justified columns of serif type as a layout reference.
