History and profile

edit

Revue Illustrée was founded by Ludovic Baschet, an art gallery owner, and was first published on 5 December 1885 as a biweekly.[1] It was based in Paris and directed by F. G. Dumas.[2][3] From 1889 to 1904 Ludovic's son, René, edited the magazine, which targeted middle class readers and had high levels of circulation.[1] The contributors included André Cahard, Henri Bellery-Desfontaines, Manuel Orazi and Carlos Schwabe.[1] The literary and artistic direction was initially entrusted to the journalist and art editor François-Guillaume Dumas (1847–1919), who had already written several museum guides for the Baschet publishing house and who contributed to their weekly magazine Paris illustré.[4][5] The magazine folded in 1912.[2]
