Le Monde illustré

Le Monde illustré was a leading 19th century illustrated newsmagazine in France. Many of its highly realistic drawings were actually made from photographs, at a time when photographic reproduction in print was not technically feasible.

Le Monde illustré is in many ways similar to the Illustrated London News.
