Additional Details

Edited by Zo d'Axa {pseud. of Charles Calland]. It is a misnomer to call these issues newspapers. They were occasionally released and addressed issues of the day from a socialist or anarchist viewpoint. Almost all are single unfolded sheets, with a full-page illustration on one side and commentary on the verso. Of the 23 issues, 3 are double-page, but they are uniform in size to the regular issues. The series is complete except for numbers 20 and 21. A single issue appears in the market once in a great while. We find no files ever having come to auction. They are in remarkably good condition except for number 16 which has a sizable closed tear.
