17th August 1948 ELLE CLAUDINE French Fashion Magazine

17th August 1948...issue no 143.. of the French Fashion magazine ELLE CLAUDINE.
The weekly Magazine CLAUDINE was launched in May 1945, in May 1948 it was acquired by the magazine ELLE (also founded in 1945) and for a few months the magazine was called ELLE-CLAUDINE. Then CLAUDINE was dropped and it was just ELLE. 
So, in this very short lived fusion, there are 30 pages of late 40s fashion and beauty, celebrity gossip, sewing, advice, fiction, homemaking and lots of great 1940s adverts.
The magazine measures 31cm x 23cm and there is some wear on some of the pages.
