- Abstract
- en_US This issue's first page presents a half-page wood-engraving titled "Le Coche et la Mouche." There is a follow-up on 92, including a more literal illustration of the fable. four paragraphs by Ch(arles) V(incent), and La Fontaine's text. The comments by Vincent explain that there will be a fable selected each month which contains the purest morality, with two wood engravings conceived by Pastelot and engraved by Breval, one "représentant exactement la scène racontée par le fabuliste" and the other substituting men for the animals. In this scene of "The Coach and Fly," I admit to having trouble establishing who is the fly or even what is going on in this apparently aristocratic scene. This issue is sixteen pages long. L'Illustrateur des Dames et Demoiselles: Journal des Soirées de Famille seems to have been known as a "Journal de Mode." It carried items of interest to women, particularly fashion. Its masthead presents the same engraving of women gathered around sewing, piano playing and singing, reading, and painting. Pages were three columns wide.
