Title: Le Petit Journal; supplément illustré.   Numéro 196.
Publisher: Paris: Monday, August 20, 1894.   Lundi, 20 août 1894. Text in French.    

Notes: A well preserved issue of the popular and controversial French supplement magazine published in 19th century, with 4 bright colored illustration to front, back and center pages. Front cover illustration entitled, "Capture de deux voyageurs français par des brigands en Sardaigne" (Two French travellers captured by brigands in Sardinia). Last page depicts "Le Cyclisme employé en aérostation" (Cycling and ballooning). Interior contains 2 spectacular full-page colour sketches advertising the Midi-Pyrenees's railway.

Scarcely seen today, "Le Petit Journal" was a leading and long existing illustrated supplement magazine. With a highly captivating format and with illustrated covers in bold and eye-catching color, usually prints or etchings depicted newsworthy events of the more sensationalist kind or patriotic allegories. Relegated by the government and under constant scrutiny, it was famous for depicting news events around the world as well as happenings in France and was the first daily newspaper in the world to reach a million copies in 1890. Buyers were discreet in purchasing and hesitant in subscribing to the publication, yet thoroughly intrigued by its offering!

A highly collectible French news magazine with stunning color illustration!!!


Le Petit Journal et son supplément illustré:

Le Petit Journal est l'un des plus anciens journaux de France, né en 1863 et il en coûte 5 centimes au lecteur. Ses bureaux se trouvent 61 rue Lafayette et 21 rue Cadet, et il est imprimé en partie par l’imprimerie Schiller, 10 et 11 rue du faubourg Montmartre. Il est vendu au Parti social français du colonel de La Rocque en 1937 et se replie à Clermont-Ferrand en 1940, où il survit jusqu’à sa fin en 1944. Le supplément illustré du "Petit Journal", avec couvertures illustrées et colorées de qualité, s'est fait depuis 1889 et une spécialité des évènements spectaculaires, chroniques inspirées par les événements d'actualité, causeries sur le théâtre, faits divers ou actualité politique.

La presse ne jouissait d'aucune liberté. Des législateurs lui avaient fait un code bizarre et l'avait reléguée hors du droit commun. On exigeait des journaux de lourds cautionnements; une censure les surveillait de près; à la moindre critique, à la plus petite allusion politique, les amendes tombaient sur eux. C'est assez dire que la masse du peuple, les ouvriers,les employés, les petits bourgeois étaient condamnés à ne point lire les journaux. Les gens aisés eux-mêmes y regardaient à deux fois avant de s' abonner à un journal. Les uns allaient lire gazette au cabinet de lecture; d'autre s'entendaient entre voisins pour prendre un abonnement à l'une des grandes feuilles de Paris.



Condition:
8 pages. Original French supplement magazine, measuring approximately 30 cm x 43 cm (17.5 inches x 12 inches). Four vivid full-page colour illustrations including first and last page. This scarce supplement issue is from the 5th year of publication. Very Good and Original Condition. Text in French.
