Who's ready for more pleasing candy to the 'ol eye? To say that I wasn't prepared to stumble upon a nice big stack of Le Rire back issues (covers only actually) at a local antique mall last week would be a serious understatement. Le Rire, aka "The Laugh", was a weekly satirical magazine published in Paris from 1894 until 1971. As you skim through the covers below you'll notice that most, if not all, are likely from the later half of this publication's great, length run. With very attractive illustrative art, done in a variety of somewhat realistic but mostly cartoony styles, and executed by a variety of equally talented masters of the craft (fyi: every piece is signed!) And since it's December, we'll kick off this great girly gallery with a festive holiday chuckle, my own gift to everyone out there who continues to support and visit AEET on a regular basis. Enjoy!
