Description

The magazine shown in the photograph is an original copy of Charlie Hebdo, issue 361, dated Thursday, October 13, 1977, as indicated in the upper left of the cover. It is a French satirical periodical, known for its provocative illustrations and bold editorial stances in the 1970s. The cover, signed by Cabu (signature visible at the bottom right), features a caricature scene typical of the publication's style, blending black, red, and beige, with a highly expressive and engaged drawing.

The front page prominently displays the title "CHAMPAGNE POUR TOUT LE MONDE!" (CHAMPAGNE FOR EVERYONE!) in large letters within a white speech bubble against a black background, topped by the "CHARLIE HEBDO" logo in bright red. Below, a satirical illustration depicts a caricatured, partially nude and bound character, with red marks evoking blood, in Cabu's distinctive graphic style. The text "AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL PRIX NOBEL DE LA PAIX" (AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL NOBEL PEACE PRIZE) appears in capital letters printed on a splattered red background, recalling the magazine's engaged context.

The magazine features a typical layout of French alternative press from the late 70s, with printing on newspaper-like paper with a matte and slightly yellowed appearance, visible in the photo. The format is that of a soft-cover stapled magazine (binding not visible but typical of this type of publication). The upper right edge bears a small handwritten notation "8F", probably the original price or a bookstore annotation.

The dominant colors are the beige of the paper, the black of the solid areas and outlines, red for graphic accentuation and titles, and white for text bubbles. The visible general condition shows some slight undulations and marked corners, with no major tears apparent on the front face.

This edition embodies the satirical spirit and freedom of tone of the independent press of the 1970s in France. Cabu's illustration, as well as the reference to Amnesty International and the Nobel Peace Prize, testify to the magazine's political and social engagement during this period.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The cover shows signs of handling and slight wear marks visible on the edges and corners. Yellowed paper, typical of publications from this era. Please examine the photo carefully to assess the exact condition.

Did you know? Charlie Hebdo, relaunched in 1970 by part of the Hara-Kiri team, quickly established itself as one of the main French satirical newspapers. The cartoonist Cabu, an emblematic figure of the newspaper, left his mark on the history of the press with his incisive style and his stances on political and social news.
