Illustration, L', French illustrated weekly, launched in 1843. On 1 July 1848 it published wood engravings of barricades in the rue Saint-Maur-Popincourt in Paris before and after the previous week's fighting, based on daguerreotypes specially made by a photographer called Thibault. Autochrome-based coloured pictures were appearing by 1910. On 21 May 1938 L'Illustration published a cover-story on Leni Riefenstahl's film Olympia, with photographs by Riefenstahl. The paper became France Illustration in 1945 and continued until 1955.
