Description:
Le Charivari was an illustrated newspaper published by Charles Philipon and Gabriel Auber in Paris from 1832 to 1937. It published political cartoons and reviews. After 1835, when the government banned political caricature, Le Charivari began publishing satires of everyday life. Ownership of the paper changed often due to issues with government censorship, and related taxes and fines. Le Charivari published weekly from 1936-1937. Le Charivari was used as a prototype for the British Punch magazine, subtitled The London Charivari. A number of political cartoons which carried Cyprus related themes appeared in Le Charivari in 1878. Their content relates to geopolitical events that led to the signing of the Cyprus Convention (AngloTurkish Convention) by which the Ottomans leased Cyprus to the British. In fact, they reflect in a humorous vein the French view on these developments. A couple of cartoons satirize the British who seem to identify Cyprus with wine and anglicize everything including French opera which they perform in English.
