I just stumbled across this amazing website while googling a french hat maker, you can read all back issues page by page and it has good translations (into several languages) too, and a really good search function. Do set aside time to get lost in it all! only downside is I haven't discovered how to view the original pages full scale yet - if you work out how let me know

Oh my...I am going to be in there all day today. Thanks very much for that information.

Re enlarging the pages I found that if you click on the box below the page, on the right, which says Plein Ecran, you should then see a magnifying glass when you roll your cursor over the page (or if you only see a hand, just click on the page anyway) and you can click to enlarge that way. Press ESC to return to the previous view.

Ahh many thanks Ikranieri! I found clicking on the pages just turned them. The Issues continue from one to the next btw - so you just carry on in time which is fascinating to see.
