L'Éclipse
''L'Éclipse'' was a French magazine of the nineteenth century, appearing from 1868 to 1876. Edited by Francis Polo, ''L'Éclipse'' was a showcase for the illustrator André Gill, in which he drew caricatures of his illustrious contemporaries. Napoleon III disliked the portrait of him drawn by Gill in '' La Lune''. In December 1867, the journal was censored. "''La Lune'' will have to undergo an eclipse," an authority commented to Editor Francis Polo when the ban was instituted, unwittingly dubbing Polo's subsequent publication: ''L'Eclipse'', which made its first appearance on 9 August 1868. ''L'Éclipse'' would itself suffer from twenty-two seizures by the law. It consisted only of one page, due to governmental restrictions.

André Gill
André Gill (17 October 1840 – 1 May 1885) was a French caricaturist. Born Louis-Alexandre Gosset de Guînes at Paris, the son of the Comte de Guînes and Sylvie-Adeline Gosset, Gill studied at the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture. He adopted the pseudonym ''André Gill'' in homage to his hero, James Gillray. Gill began illustrating for '' Le Journal Amusant'', but he became known for his work for the weekly four-sheet newspaper ''La Lune'', edited by Francis Polo, in which he drew portraits for a series entitled ''The Man of the Day''. He worked for ''La Lune'' from 1865 to 1868. When ''La Lune'' was banned, he worked for the periodical '' L'Éclipse'' from 1868 to 1876. Gill also drew for famous periodical ''Le Charivari''. Caricatures Gill's style, subsequently much imitated, was noted for the enlargement of his subjects' heads, which sat upon undersized bodies. His caricatures, in the form of large hand-colored, lithographic portraits, were considered very acc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
La Lune
''La Lune'' ("The Moon") was the name of a nineteenth-century French weekly four-sheet newspaper edited by Francis Polo. The illustrator André Gill became known for his work for this journal, in which he drew caricatures for a series entitled ''The Man of the Day''.

Jean-Baptiste Troppmann
Jean-Baptiste Troppmann (October 5, 1849 – January 19, 1870) was a French spree killer who between August 24 and September 19, 1869, murdered eight members of the Kinck family, including six children aged between 2 and 16 years old, in order to gain access to their money. He was caught at the port of Le Havre at the end of September 1869 while attempting to flee the country. Convicted after a three-day trial on December 30, 1869, Troppmann was executed publicly by guillotine outside the gates of La Roquette Prisons on January 19, 1870. His murders, trial, and execution were extensively reported in the French press, and this reporting was a major milestone in the development of the French tabloid press (the ''petite presse'' or the ''presse à un sou''.) For example, '' Le Petit Journal'', the bestselling newspaper in France, more than doubled its daily circulation, selling 594,000 copies the day of Troppmann's execution. The Attorney General at Paris, Théodore Grandperre ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Satirical Magazines Published In France
Satire is a genre of the visual, literary, and performing arts, usually in the form of fiction and less frequently non-fiction, in which vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, often with the intent of shaming or exposing the perceived flaws of individuals, corporations, government, or society itself into improvement. Although satire is usually meant to be humorous, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit to draw attention to both particular and wider issues in society. A feature of satire is strong irony or sarcasm —"in satire, irony is militant", according to literary critic Northrop Frye— but parody, burlesque, exaggeration, juxtaposition, comparison, analogy, and double entendre are all frequently used in satirical speech and writing. This "militant" irony or sarcasm often professes to approve of (or at least accept as natural) the very things the satirist wishes to question. Satire is found in many artist ...

French-language Magazines
French ( or ) is a Romance language of the Indo-European family. It descended from the Vulgar Latin of the Roman Empire, as did all Romance languages. French evolved from Gallo-Romance, the Latin spoken in Gaul, and more specifically in Northern Gaul. Its closest relatives are the other langues d'oïl—languages historically spoken in northern France and in southern Belgium, which French ( Francien) largely supplanted. French was also influenced by native Celtic languages of Northern Roman Gaul like Gallia Belgica and by the ( Germanic) Frankish language of the post-Roman Frankish invaders. Today, owing to France's past overseas expansion, there are numerous French-based creole languages, most notably Haitian Creole. A French-speaking person or nation may be referred to as Francophone in both English and French. French is an official language in 29 countries across multiple continents, most of which are members of the ''Organisation internationale de la Francophonie'' ...
