Le Follet, Courrier des Salons, Journal des Modes
(1829-1892), French magazineArtist associated with 89 portraits
Le Follet, Courrier des Salons, Journal des Modes (Paris) 1829-1892; English edition (Paris) was one of the longest-running of all fashion magazines, it contained very stylish plates which remained hand-coloured until its demise, often showing the same dress back and front in different colours. Most of the best fashion plate illustrators designed plates for it, many of which were by Adèle Anais Toudouze and Laure Noël, two of the three Colin sisters, all of whom were fashion plate designers. Its plates were issued in The Lady's Magazine from the 1830s, the first British magazine to import French plates, before legitimate foreign editions were produced in Germany, Italy and England from the 1840s, marking the beginning of the general ousting of English plates by French.
