Le Charivari is a French newspaper and the world’s first illustrated satirical daily, published from 1832 to 1937.
Founded on 1 December 1832 by Charles Philipon as a republican opposition journal to the July Monarchy, the satirical newspaper with a distractive purpose asserted itself over its history as radical, conservative, republican, or anti‑clerical. Its most notable authors included Taxile Delord and Agénor Altaroche, and its most prominent caricaturists were, among others, Philipon, Nadar, Gustave Doré, Honoré Daumier, Henri Rochefort, Cham and Gavarni.
