This is an original Le Petit Journal, Supplement Illustre circa October 9 1904 featuring the death of Chief Joseph. The Le Petit Journal was similar to the Harpers Weekly, but was published in wonderful color. This illustration has a very romantic depiction of the "Death of Chief Joseph", one of the "last of the redskins." with accompanying article. It is very interesting to not that the passing of the great Nez Perce Chief made the front page news in this French magazine. Believed to be the only publication showing this wonderful colored scene. The back cover shows an advertisement for "Les Jeux Du Cirque En Annam - Combat d'un tigre et d'um elephant" in excellent bright color. The piece shows browning with some edge wear, but overall a scarcely seen historic piece. Measures 12.25"x17 5/8".
