Collectif - Journal des Demoiselles - 1862

Exciting edition of this illustrated magazine aimed at young girls from the bourgeoisie and aristocracy, which combines education, entertainment, and moral prescriptions within an elegant editorial framework.

The magazine, conceived as a tool for intellectual and moral education, aimed to instill virtues of piety, modesty, and refinement, while providing readers with access to encyclopedic knowledge suited to their condition.

The 1862 edition reflects the consolidation of the genre of illustrated women's magazines, where the aesthetic of fashion plates and the richness of educational content combine to produce a cultural and domestic object.

It illustrates the social function of the women's press in shaping models of femininity by linking knowledge, morality, and visual appeal, and it aligns with subsequent issues while reflecting the specific tastes and expectations of the readership of the 1860s.
