Le Tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages (French pronunciation: [lə tuʁ dy mɔ̃d nuvo ʒuʁnal de vwajaʒ]) was a French weekly travel journal first published in January 1860.
Le Tour du monde (Around the world) was created in January 1860 by Édouard Charton, designer of Le Magasin pittoresque, under the aegis of the Librairie Hachette : every six months, the weekly booklets sold through the network of railway stations, gathered in one volume, which was offered in bookstore.
A second series was inaugurated in 1895 under the title Le Tour du monde, journal des voyages et des voyageurs (Around the World, newspaper travel and travelers): much more modern, it reproduced photographic images, rather than engravings.
Fifty years span from discovering the source of the Nile in the early 1860s, to conquering the South Pole in late 1911.
The magazine combined text and illustrations in the early woodcuts, which were gradually replaced by reproductions of photographs at the end of the 19th century.
