L'Éclipse
(Redirected from L'Eclipse)
Charles Dickens by André Gill
Dickens crosses the English Channel, carrying his books from London to Paris.
L'Éclipse was a French magazine of the nineteenth century, appearing from 1868 to 1876. Edited by Francis Polo, L'Éclipse was a showcase for the illustrator André Gill, in which he drew caricatures of his illustrious contemporaries.[1]
Napoleon III disliked the portrait of him drawn by Gill in La Lune. In December 1867, the journal was censored. "La Lune will have to undergo an eclipse," an authority commented to Editor Francis Polo when the ban was instituted, unwittingly dubbing Polo's subsequent publication: L'Eclipse, which made its first appearance on 9 August 1868.
L'Éclipse would itself suffer from twenty-two seizures by the law. It consisted only of one page, due to governmental restrictions.[2]
