Les Lundis de Caran d'Ache

Caran d'Ache, the celebrated French satirist, launched Les Lundis de Caran d'Ache with the publisher Plon in 1896, a single-issue comic that distilled his sharp, wordless wit into a standalone collection. As a landmark of early European sequential art, the volume gathers d'Ache's iconic single-panel cartoons and multi-panel narratives, showcasing the elegance and political bite that defined his career. Though brief in run, this publication remains a key artifact of fin-de-siècle French cartooning, preserving the artist's mastery of visual storytelling without text.
