Le Petit Journal Death of Chief Joseph circa 1904
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 condition of this Le Petit Journal is well preserved with some minor wear to the corners and browning consistent with the age of the journal. The measurements of this journal is 17 3/4" x 12 3/8".
