Editorial Office at L'Illustration

An editorial session is taking place in the offices of the weekly French newspaper L’Illustration with the editorial board gathered around a table. Among those present we can recognize the four original founders of the newspaper: white-haired Alexandre Paulin sitting at the center, Jacques-Julien Dubochet at his left, at his right Édouard Charton, and Adolphe Joanne sitting next to this latter.

The caption reads in the original French: Bureau de rédaction de ‘L’Illustration.’
