LE RIRE
was a weekly newspaper with great success, which was founded in 1894 (15 years after Daumier's death) and existed until the 1950's. It was founded in Paris by Félix Juven and focussed on the Arts, culture and politics of the time. The most important contributors were Théophile Steinlen, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Caran d'Ache, Charles Léandre, Georges Meunier, Jean-Louis Forain and many more.
L'UNIVERS ILLUSTRÉ
was a weekly, then bi-weekly illustrated journal of general information which appeared in Paris from 1858 to 1900; then again from 1910 to 1912. L. Duplessis was the first director. The publication was more popular than L'Illustration, and featured many full-page illustrations. Typically the pictures were reprints from The Illustrated London News or the Leipzig newspaper Die Illustrierte Zeitung. With this procedure, low production costs and high circulation numbers could be guaranteed: 15'400 papers were produced in 1866. A. Dumas, P. Féval, A. Karr, V. Sardou, E. Souvestre, A. Wolff were the first collaborators. In 1867 authors like E. About, O. Feuillet, T. Gautier, P. Mérimée, A. de Pontmartin, Prévost-Paradol, Sainte-Beuve, P. de Saint-Victor, and G. Sand joined the publication.
L'ILLUSTRATION, journal universel
Weekly newspaper published in Paris. It was founded by the journalists J.B.A. Paulin, Edouard Charton, J.J. Dubochet and the geographer Adolphe Joanne. Dubochet was the editor and director. The first issue appeared on March 4, 1843. The paper contained woodcuts by Daumier and others. The woodcuts by Daumier are reprints from "La Grande Ville", "Un Tableau de Paris" and "Les Français Peints par Eux-Mêmes".
