[DJOZ] Mother reading to children. Cover illustration of Nos Loisirs, Dec 1, 1923. Cover illustration for Nos Loisirs magazine, published December 1, 1923.

Nos Loisirs was published as an illustrated Sunday supplement of Le Petit Parisien, the French daily newspaper, from 1906 to 1940 (halting publication during World War I). This sweet scene of a mother reading with her children is representative of the type of imagery that Nos Loisirs featured on its covers around the time the publication adopted the subtitle "Revue de la Femme et du Foyer" in 1920.
