Description

L’Illustration, No. 3655, 15 Mars 1913 by Various is a historical publication produced in the early 20th century. This edition features various articles, illustrations, and narratives, reflecting the social, cultural, and political climate of the time. It includes a serialized novel, critiques, reports on significant events, and commentary on contemporary issues, providing a rich tapestry of information for readers interested in the historical context of the early 1900s. The opening portion of this issue introduces La Petite Illustration, which contains the second part of Marcel Prévost’s novel Les Anges Gardiens. This section begins with a reflective narration by an observer who describes two buildings being constructed near his home - one made of concrete and the other of stone. The observer contemplates the nature of these structures, the workers involved, and their families. The description evokes a sense of nostalgia and melancholy, as the narrator connects the transient nature of construction with broader themes regarding life, memory, and impermanence. Additionally, it sets the stage for a deeper exploration of societal changes at the time, illustrated by the interactions between the workers and their families during their daily routines.
