While published from 1863 to 1970, the legendary French magazine La Vie Parisienne reached its peak during the World War I years, defining the very spirit of Paris.
The weekly employed many of the most famous and talented artists of that tumultuous era, including long-time contributor Cherie Herouard, poster designer Rene Vincent, and famed fashion illustrator George Barbier.
This large-format hardcover edition offers scores of sumptuous colour and often risque illustrations from the magazine's early 20th century heyday, including cover designs and editorial cartoons, many not readily available for nearly a century.
