Paris Illustré is a French illustrated magazine founded by René Baschet and appeared in 1983, initially as a monthly magazine. It later became a weekly magazine, with each issue being thematic. The issue featured illustrations depicting the topic. These were the first reproductions in color according to mechanical processes, derived from typogravure, developed by Charles Gillot who signs the engravings. The magazine was issued up until July 1920, covering the entire turn of the century.
