Paris: La Vie Parisienne, 1913. Hardcover. 1 bound volume containing issues of La Vie Parisienne from July 5 through Dec. 27, 1913. 472 pages (paginated 471-941, [1] continuously with the first 6 months of the year): heavily illustrated, including one double-page illustration in each issue; 34 cm. Half morocco with red morocco-grain cloth over boards. Floral patterned endpapers. The French weekly magazine La Vie Parisienne, founded in Paris in 1863, evolved in the early 20th century into a mildly risqué publication. Contains fashion, fiction, humor, and many partially clad women as well as some who have given up on the effort to wear anything at all. Includes the conclusion of the serialized novel L'Entrave by Colette Willy (Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette); and illustrations by Fabien Fabiano (1882-1962) and Raphael Kirchner (1875-1917), among others. A very heavy book; for international shipping, the U.S. Postal Service requires that it be shipped by priority/expedited shipping.
