Journal des dames et des modes

It was the second oldest fashion magazine published in France, replacing its predecessor the Cabinet des Modes (1785-1793) after the fall of Robespierre.

It was edited by Pierre de la Mesangere, who was its main journalist most of its existence.

It was issued every five days, with eight pages of text and one or two colored copperplates (fashion plates).

It also contained descriptions of society life, poetry, theatre reviews and fiction.

[1] It was relatively inexpensive and affordable, and popular in almost all the Western world: from Paris to Boston, Britain, Holland, Italy, Belgium, Germany and Russia.
