Almanach du Petit Illustré

The Almanach du Petit Illustré was a long-running French annual published by the Société Parisienne d'Edition from 1908 to 1937, spanning 30 issues. Primarily a comic anthology, it served as a yearly companion to the weekly Le Petit Illustré, featuring a mix of serialized strips, humorous illustrations, and seasonal content. While the series is not associated with a single defining creator, it stands as a durable example of early 20th-century French popular comics, reflecting the evolving tastes and publishing practices of its era. Its extended run makes it a noteworthy artifact for understanding the development of the comic medium in France before the war.
