Le Charivari
Le Charivari was an illustrated magazine published in Paris, France, from 1832 to 1937. It published caricatures, political cartoons and reviews. After 1835, when the government banned political caricature, "Le Charivari" began publishing satires of everyday life. The name refers to the folk practice of holding a charivari, a loud, riotous parade, to shame or punish wrongdoers. History and profile. "Le Charivari" was started by caricaturist Charles Philipon and his brother-in-law Gabriel Aubert to reduce their financial risk of censorship fines. They also had published the satirical, anti-monarchist, illustrated newspaper "La Caricature", which had more  pages and was printed on more expensive paper. In "Le Charivari", they featured humorous content which was not so political. Ownership of the paper changed often due to issues with government censorship, and related taxes and fines. "Le Charivari" published daily from 1832 to 1936, and then weekly until 1937. In 1841 British wood-engraver, Ebenezer Landells, together with Henry Mayhew, used "Le Charivari" as the model to establish their "Punch" magazine, subtitled "The London Charivari".
