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 mix large photographic views of Paris architecture and boulevards with a military portrait and a small sculpture study, showing period photogravure reproduction. A designer might take the wide street-level compositions, crowds with umbrellas, and the dramatic black-ground still life for layout and atmosphere.
