Der Bazar was a fashion magazine which was published in Berlin, German Empire, in the period 1854–1933. Its subtitle was first Technische Muster-Zeitung für Frauen. [1] Then it was changed to Illustrirte Damen-Zeitung (Illustrated Women's Magazine) from 1 January 1857. [1] It is one of the earliest examples of a multilingual magazine.

History and profile

Der Bazar was launched on 10 December 1854 as a biweekly magazine [1] and was based in Berlin. [2] Its publisher was owned by Louis Schäfer. [1] [3] However, it was Antonie von Cosmar who suggested establishing Der Bazar. [1] She was a playwright and novelist. [1] From 1857 the magazine was redesigned, and its subtitle was modified, and the frequency was switched to weekly. [1] Der Bazar folded in 1933. [4]

Content

The magazine covered fashion-related news and illustrations, as well as suggestions to retailers on methods of selling clothes to women. [5] Der Bazar featured illustrations of ballroom outfits as clothing advice to its readers in its first January issue every year. [5] The magazine also published articles on cosmopolitan lifestyles, home life and aesthetics. [3]

Editions and circulation

Der Bazar enjoyed international readership and had editions in other languages. [3] By 1863, in addition to 105,000 copies in German annually, it sold 50,000 copies in English, 32,000 in French and 15,000 in Spanish. [1] [3] The magazine also published editions in Dutch, Russian, Italian, Hungarian and Czech, and claimed to be the most widespread journal in the world with a circulation of over half a million. [1] By 1891 it was the best-selling women’s fashion and home magazine in Germany, targeting primarily middle to upper class women. [2]

Der Bazar had many spin-offs and inspired many women's magazines. [4] A notable example was the American fashion magazine Harper's Bazaar, which employed some of the content of Der Bazar following its foundation in 1867. [1] [3] [6] Another magazine inspired from Der Bazar which republished its fashion content was Magyar Bazár, a Hungarian fashion magazine based in Budapest. [7] The Dutch edition of Der Bazar was De Gracieuse which was published in Leiden between 1862 and 1936. [4]
