L'Illustré National

A pioneering weekly French comic from the turn of the century, L'Illustré National ran for 420 issues from 1898 to 1906 under publisher J. Rueff. The series was a showcase for the versatile Cams, who appeared as both a frequent writer and artist, alongside regular contributors Guénin and Zilberty. It stands as a significant early example of the comic strip format in Europe, offering a sustained glimpse into the humor, serialized storytelling, and visual style of the Belle Époque era.
