LE PETIT JOURNAL [The Little Newspaper]--Supplement, Paris, France, August 8, 1891  This was a quite successful conservative, daily newspaper published from 1863 to 1944. Beginning in 1884 they did a weekly "Supplement" famous for their color lithograph front and back pages.
The front page is a color print captioned; "Execution de Dore et Berland - La Sortie De La Roquette" with the back page taken up with a color print of the: "La Guillotine" used to execute them.
Such full page color prints in 19th century issues were rather uncommon.
Complete in 8 pages, 12 by 17 inches, very nice condition.
