Le Théâtre was a French cultural magazine created in 1898 as a monthly, then fortnightly until July 1914.[1]

History

Le Théâtre was a periodical launched by Goupil & Cie, which also published Les Arts and La Mode. Its issues were bound in semi-annual books of 27 centimeters (11 in) by 35 centimeters (14 in), a presentation similar to that of the famous newspaper of the time, L'Illustration.[1] Like L'Illustration, Le Théâtre was abundantly illustrated with high quality black and white photos. In 1900, the magazine often featured full-page color photographs, especially on the front cover.[2] Le Théatre's editorial office was located on 24 Boulevard des Capucines in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. Its founder and director was the Franco-Napolitan photoengraver Michel Manzi (1849–1915), who was also the director of the Ateliers d'Asnières where the newspaper was printed by the successors and buyers of the Goupil house.[1]
