An issue of the French magazine L'Éclipse, date January 23, 1876 - on the cover of the magazine, there is a large anti-Semitic caricature of a Jewish man with sidelocks and a long nose protruding from his hiding place, signed: 'André Gill'. One of the last issues that were published before it finally closed in the same year.

L'Éclipse was a French magazine that appeared between 1868 and 1876, edited by Francis Polo. The covers of the issues were adorned with large illustrations of famous personalities of the generation, usually in a political context, created by André Gill. The newspaper was closed due to an illustration of Napoleon III that did not find favor in his eyes. During the years that L'Éclipse was published, it operated under various government restrictions, which is also why each issue only contained four pages.

[4] pages. 50 cm. good condition.
