L'Illustration Européenne (French pronunciation: [lilystʁasjɔ̃ øʁɔpeɛn]; 1870 – 1914) was a Belgian illustrated weekly newspaper providing general news, serialised fiction, historical anecdotes, short biographies of famous figures, and travel writing.
The illustrations (portraits, views, and so forth) that accompanied the stories were the paper's main selling point.
In 1885, L'Illustration Européenne became the first Belgian periodical to print a halftone photograph.
[1] The owners of the Parisian illustrated weekly L'Illustration attempted to sue the owners of L'Illustration Européenne for unfair competition in having given their publication a misleadingly similar name.
