Collectif - Journal des Demoiselles - 1864

Fascinating illustrated edition of this women's magazine born in the 19th century and aimed at a readership of young women seeking culture, moral guidance, and entertainment.

This collective volume offers a mosaic of content blending inspiring stories, new morals, poetry, historical or geographical articles, etiquette tips, fashion sections, and needlework projects, all while incorporating more contemporary elements related to the social and cultural developments of the post-war period.

The illustrations, now modernized by photography and more stylized engraving, enrich the text and reflect the editorial aesthetic of the 1960s, characterized by a desire to visually seduce while educating.

The entire work preserves the educational and moral purpose of the title but adapts to the expectations of a generation of readers facing the modernization of women's roles, the rise of consumerism, and France's cultural openness.
