The Paris Atlas

Publications

Between the wars a magazine was often where a book appeared first, in extracts and installments, months or years before a publisher would take it. The periodicals here did that work, usually on a patron’s money and rarely for long.

Named, not yet written

A magazine gets a page here when the research holds enough to write one — who ran it, who paid for it, and what it printed. The magazines below are in the atlas because a writer’s page needed to point at them, and they carry a sourced edge and a description until that work is done.

  • Collier's

    American weekly that carried Martha Gellhorn's war reporting from Spain in 1937 through the Second World War, and whose single European accreditation she lost to Hemingway in 1944.

  • Vogue

    Condé Nast's fashion monthly, whose Paris operation employed Pauline Pfeiffer when she arrived in the city in 1925.
