"Unveiling the Power of Words: The Daily Newspaper in 19th Century Germany" Step back in time to Berlin's Reading Hall, circa 1890, where men gather in a public reading room engrossed in the pages of their daily newspaper. This digitally restored reproduction of a 19th-century original captures the essence of an era when newspapers held immense influence. One such influential publication was "The Son of Old Man Duchesne, " dated May 7, 1871. Through engravings like "Thiers I, Roi des Capitulards" and thought-provoking cartoons depicting anti-clericalism during the Commune uprising that same year, newspapers became powerful tools for political commentary and social critique. Fast forward to 1903 and witness a satirical print titled "The Roman wolf and the British lion sing in chorus Come Chicken. " Propaganda by image takes center stage as German propaganda during World War I is showcased through postcards like Abel Faivre's photography illustration. Even during times of turmoil, newspapers played pivotal roles. In an engraving titled "Pilori-Phrenologie: Leboeuf, " they shed light on resistance movements. Front-page newsprint from Le Petit Provencal on June 19, 1940, reveals an appeal for resistance amidst challenging times. Beyond politics and conflict lie moments of everyday life captured within newspaper illustrations. Ernesto Mancastropa's work transports us to New Year's Eve visits with women sipping tea while another plays the piano softly in the background. Children playing trumpets and violins evoke joyous scenes depicted by Mancastroppa from Modesto Faustini's fresco. Religious themes also find their place within these historical publications.
