Original De Vilains Masques- French Satirical Comic - Ends Soon [SanINmdc]

At the turn of the 20th century, when anarchist political leanings were becoming more and more prominent, a weekly magazine was born in France: L’Assiette au Beurre ('The Butter Plate' in English).

L’Assiette au Beurre kicked off in 1901 as a weekly publication. It was known for its often controversial content, as well as its excellent illustrations drawn by a wide array of prominent French artists. The magazine had socialist and anarchist leanings, and often focused on social issues such as labor rights, poverty, education reforms, and other politically charged topics. As time went on, it became increasingly popular among the French people who were eager to see their views represented in the media. 

If you're looking for a proper hit of vintage French decorum, you've found it. This 120-year-old piece of publication history will frame expertly. Signed in plate.
