The Le Pèlerin - a weekly French newspaper that began on July 12, 1873. It is considered the first French magazine in color. It was founded by the Bayard Presse journalist group, which was the initial nucleus. For the first few decades, the newspaper ran an anti-Semitic line and from time to time cartoons accused Jews of the ills of French society. Throughout the 20th century, the weekly trend was more moderate.

During the German Reich, the newspaper took an anti-Nazi line on the one hand, and anti-Semitism on the other [the Jews were perceived to be able to 'heat' the decree against the Nazi enemy, hence their resistance].

General condition: good.
