About the series

A satirical weekly born in Belle Époque France, L'Assiette au beurre skewered politics, religion, and society through full-page, often savage caricatures. Published by Schwarz, the series became a landmark of European comic journalism, with Benjamin Rabier as its most prolific artist across 143 issues. Its legacy endures as a razor-sharp chronicle of the early twentieth century, proving the comic form's power as political commentary.
