AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This satirical press issue is an original copy of the French newspaper Charlie Hebdo, dated Monday, November 27, 1972 (No. 108). The cover, immediately recognizable by its committed graphic style, features a drawing by Reiser in black and red, typical of the magazine's provocative editorial line during the 1970s. The "CHARLIE HEBDO" header appears in large black characters on a white background, surmounting a front page with a sober and striking layout.

The visible cover displays the title "avortement : APRÈS L’ORDRE DES MEDECINS L’ORDRE DES BOUEUX" (abortion: AFTER THE ORDER OF DOCTORS THE ORDER OF GARBAGE COLLECTORS) in capital letters, alternating black and red. Reiser's drawing features an expressive caricature, with a doctor character and a speech bubble "NOUS SOMMES CONTRE !" (WE ARE AGAINST IT!), in a composition that combines dark humor and social criticism. Reiser's signature is clearly visible at the bottom right of the visual. The paper has an ivory/matte hue, characteristic of the press of this period, with a slight patina of use, visible particularly at the corners.

The front page shows a typical Charlie Hebdo layout of the time: massive lettering, a strong message, and a central illustration occupying almost the entire cover. The contrast between black, gray, and red emphasizes the polemical spirit of the issue. No other details of the interior or back are visible in this image.

The newspaper is presented in broadsheet format, with a marked fold in the lower left corner and some signs of wear on the edges, attesting to its age and handling. The issue number and date are perfectly legible at the top left: "N° 108 — Lundi 27 novembre 1972 — 2 F".

This newspaper, emblematic of the committed French press of the 70s, is sought after for its original illustrations and satirical content. The illustration by Reiser, a major figure in satirical comic strips, gives this copy a particular interest for lovers of vintage press and graphic history.

Did you know? Charlie Hebdo, founded in 1970, is the direct successor of Hara-Kiri Hebdo. Its irreverent tone and drawings by artists like Reiser, Cabu, and Wolinski made it a central player in satire in France. Issues from the 70s often tackled burning social issues on their front pages, giving them significant documentary value today.
