Le Patriote Illustré is a Belgian magazine that was first published in 1885, and apart from a few periods, especially during the war years, appeared continuously until the 1960s. The contents were mainly about the Belgian Royal House and by extension all other royal houses, international politics, international current affairs, and in particular, the magazine reported extensively on the second war and its consequences in the following years. The magazine contained an unusually large number of images for its time, making it an outstanding historical visual treasure.
