The Quartier Latin

The Quartier Latin was a magazine devoted to the arts, published monthly from 1896 until 1899.

It was part of a brief fad for small-format, avant-garde little magazines (also known as chapbooks or ephemeral bibelots) around the turn of the twentieth century.

[1] Its style and content have been described as being influenced by The Yellow Book and The Chap-Book, both of which debuted in 1894 and featured similar vivid modernist illustrations.

An introduction to the first issue acknowledges as sister publications The Chap-Book, The Lotus, The Philistine, The Bibelot, The Lark, and The What-not.
