Le Tour du monde (Around the world) was created in January 1860 by Édouard Charton, designer of the Magasin pittoresque, under the aegis of the Librairie Hachette : every six months, the weekly booklets sold through the network of railway stations, gathered in one volume, which was offered in bookstore. A second series was inaugurated in 1895 under the title Le Tour du monde, journal des voyages et des voyageurs (Around the World, newspaper travel and travelers): much more modern, it reproduced photographic images, rather than engravings. This weekly was aimed at a popular readership and spent its content on travel and exploration. It described in detail most of the great expeditions which marked the end of the 19th century; and early 20th, the last great period of exploration of the world by Western travelers. Fifty years span from discovering the source of the Nile in the early 1860s, to conquering the South Pole in late 1911. The magazine combined text and illustrations in the early woodcuts, which were gradually replaced by reproductions of photographs at the end of the 19th century. After July 1914, it ceased publication. In February 1930, the title was bought by Lectures pour tous. Each edition was at least 16 pages, illustrated with engravings in black and white. On the cover would be found a single engraving under the header that blocked half the page above twin columns of print, sometimes the entire page. Inside, besides half-page prints, there were three full page prints. Text was carried on two columns. Another feature was the publication of the same travelogue in installments over 2 or 3 numbers (hence the discrepancy between editionss and numbers). deu MIG-24-05A|119|6818AB
