Journal amusant

Journal amusant was a French weekly satirical magazine published from 1856 until 1933.

The magazine's immediate predecessor was Journal pour rire which Philipon had founded in 1849.

[1] The original format of Journal amusant was 8 pages and consisted primarily of cartoons and caricatures satirizing the social mores of the day.

Lighter in tone than Le Charivari (also founded by Philipon), its editorial content was largely focused on the theatre and fashion rather than politics.

The last issue of Journal amusant was published in 1933 by which time its title was Le journal amusant et Gai Paris réunis reflecting its takeover of the magazine Gai Paris in 1931.
