Overview

La Ilustració Llevantina was an illustrated literary and artistic magazine published in Barcelona, Spain, between 1900 and 1901. It was directed by Josep Alemany i Borràs and appeared in two distinct periods (èpoques). The first period ran as a ten-day publication (desenal) from 10 March 1900 to 20 May 1900, comprising eight issues. The second period was published fortnightly (quinzenal) from November 1900 to 16 December 1901, reaching twenty-eight issues. The magazine was printed by Fidel Giró in Barcelona and served as a cultural review for Catalonia, Valencia, Mallorca, and Roussillon.
