Raymond Bachollet, in his article devoted to this magazine published in Le Collectionneur français in December 1979 and January 1980, states that it appeared in 1900, created for the Universal Exhibition, at the closure of which it would have ceased to appear. The illustrations composed by Roubille are remarkable. "Roubille's style, far removed here from the vigorous realism of Léandre, Veber or Cadel, highlights, with great economy of means, thanks to the precision of its line, the originality of its layout, the choice of colours and the small significant detail, the essential character traits revealed by its characters, the supreme function they occupy and the political situation of the country they represent" (Raymond Bachollet, Le Collectionneur français, No. 163, page 16). The complete collection of these "leaves" is extremely rare, and we have not found any that have recently gone on sale. Virtually every public library is missing, with only one listed on WorldCat at Duke University Library in the United
