ABSTRACT This article discusses the relationship between journalism and historical representation by exploring the particular case of the recueils of illustrated periodicals. With the adoption of a news section, L’Illustration asserts its ambition to participate in the writing of history and faces its first challenge in this sense during the 1848 insurrections. While weekly issues cover events as they as they unfold, or in their immediate aftermath, the instalments are also collected in biannual volumes. These occupy a problematic space, transcending the realm of the press to aspire to the status of contemporary histories. Chronicling events in real time, articles retain the urgency of tone, freshness of data and limited perspective of eyewitness records. They lack the reflective quality given by composition, temporal distance, and in-depth research. However, through textual and visual discourses that adopt narrative modes, L’Illustration draws attention to the fact that it contributes to the history of the nineteenth century. Retrospectively, the recueils constitute a form of historical account composed in the present.

插图画报与历史写作：1848年的插图集

摘要本文通过探讨插图期刊的详细内容来讨论新闻学与历史表征之间的关系。随着新闻部的通过，L'Illustration坚定了参与历史写作的雄心，并在1848年的暴动中面对了这一方面的第一个挑战。每周的刊物涵盖事态的发展，以及事后的紧要关头，而分期付款也每半年出版一次。这些占据了一个有问题的空间，超越了新闻界的范围，以追求当代历史的地位。实时记录事件，文章保留了语调的紧迫性，数据的新鲜度和目击者记录的有限视角。它们缺乏由构图，时间距离，和深入的研究。但是，通过采用叙事方式的文字和视觉论述，《插图》吸引了人们的关注，即它为19世纪的历史做出了贡献。回顾地，水怪构成了现在构成的一种历史记录形式。
