    History

    In 1891, L'Illustration became the first French newspaper to publish a

    Le mystère de la chambre jaune as a serial a year before its 1908 release. La Petite Illustration was the name of the supplement to L'Illustration that published fiction, plays, and other arts-related material.[2]

    During the

    Second World War, while it was owned by the Baschet family, L'Illustration supported Marshal Philippe Pétain's Révolution nationale,[3] but turned down pro-German articles by French aristocrat and diplomat Jacques Bouly de Lesdain.[3] However, Lesdain later became its political editor.[4][5]

    The magazine was shut down in 1944 following the Liberation of Paris.[6] Another version re-opened in 1945 under the name France-Illustration, but went bankrupt in 1957.
