Le Magasin du XIXe siècle

A fascinating hybrid of art history and comics scholarship, Le Magasin du XIXe siècle is an ongoing series from the Société des études romantiques et dix-neuviémistes that began in 2011. Its single issue to date is defined by the work of Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, who served as both writer and artist, bringing the Belle Époque's visual storytelling into a modern academic context. The series matters as a unique, scholarly exploration of 19th-century visual culture through the lens of sequential art.
