In France, in 1881, a law was adopted to protect freedom of the press.

The exhibition includes posters, illustrated front-pages, and press illustrations from major daily newspapers, women’s magazines, sport press or satirical newspapers.

Works by numerous artists are on display : Belloguet, Eugène Carrière, Jules Chéret, Honoré Daumier, Aristide Delannoy, Clémentine-Hélène Dufau, Jean-Louis Forain, Faustin, Jules Grandjouan, Granville, Hadol, Ibels, Jossot, Frantisek Kupka, Charles Léandre, Alfred Le Petit, Jan Metteix, Eugène Ogé, Pilotell, Albert Robida, Roubille, Steinlen, Félix Vallotton.
