Founded in 1863, La Vie Parisienne was originally designed to appeal to the upper-classes, offering literary pieces, society gossip and articles about the arts. It also featured the work of immensely talented artists like Georges Barbier, Gerda Wegener, Chéri Hérouard, Georges Léonnec, Maurice Milliere. The artwork was considered risqué, even erotic (think early porn for the intellectual).
