Le Pèlerin was a French weekly magazine that started off on July 12, 1873. Considered France's first color magazine. The weekly was founded by a group of journalists from Bayard Presse, who formed the initial core. In its first decades, the magazine took an antisemitic line with caricatures blaming Jews for French society's ills. During the German Reich era, the magazine adopted an anti-Nazi stance on one hand by portraying the Nazis as France's enemies on the eve of war, while also being anti-Semitic [French Jews were seen as potentially provoke the front against the Nazi enemy, hence the opposition to them].
All issues are complete. Varying conditions. The issue dated September 15, 1935 has a stain on the left margins throughout the pages and a loss from the bottom right corner throughout its length without damage to text. The remaining issues are in good to very good condition.
