Bookseller’s description

The Tintamarre is a French satirical weekly, dated 1882, 48 x 33 cm, half-leather binding, 41st year, 8 pp. per week, some foxing.

The Tintamarre is a French satirical weekly published between 1843 and 1899. Following its first issue on 19 March 1843, The Tintamarre was definitively launched on 2 April of the same year by Jules Lovy and Auguste Commerson, respectively editor-in-chief and director.

The title, a colloquial synonym for 'noise', was chosen for its resemblance to that of a previous publication by Commerson, Le Tam-Tam. Its subtitle, 'critique of advertising, satire of puffists', announced the humorous and impertinent ambition of its columns, where witty and fanciful texts on contemporary literary, artistic and industrial novelties rubbed shoulders with advertisements.
Most articles were signed with pseudonyms, Lovy and Commerson sharing, for example, the pen name—or rather heteronym—of 'Joseph Citrouillard'.
In 1850, its circulation reached 2,300 copies.
Co-owner of the newspaper with Commerson since 1868, Léon Bienvenu, known as Touchatout, became its owner and editor-in-chief in March 1872.
During the 1890s, the newspaper's publication became intermittent and finally ceased on 31 December 1899, after fifty-nine years of continuous issues and 2,672 numbers published.

Despite the rarity of its humorous drawings, historian Bertrand Joly considers The Tintamarre to be 'the most direct ancestor of Le Canard enchaîné'.

The bookseller’s original description (in French)

Le Tintamarre est un hebdomadaire satirique français, année 1882, 48 x 33 cm., reliure demi-cuir, 41 ème année, 8 pp. par semaine, quelques rousseurs.

Le Tintamarre est un hebdomadaire satirique français publié entre 1843 et 1899. Après un premier numéro paru le 19 mars 1843, Le Tintamarre est définitivement lancé le 2 avril suivant par Jules Lovy et Auguste Commerson, respectivement rédacteur en chef et directeur.

Le titre, synonyme familier de « bruit », est choisi pour sa ressemblance avec celui d'une publication précédente de Commerson, Le Tam-Tam. Son sous-titre, « critique de la réclame, satire des puffistes », annonce l'ambition humoristique et impertinente de ses colonnes, où des textes gouailleurs et fantaisistes sur les nouveautés littéraires, artistiques et industrielles du moment côtoient les annonces publicitaires.
La plupart des articles sont signés de noms de plume, Lovy et Commerson se partageant par exemple le pseudonyme ou plutôt l'hétéronyme de « Joseph Citrouillard ».
En 1850, son tirage est de 2 300 exemplaires
Copropriétaire du journal avec Commerson depuis 1868, Léon Bienvenu, dit Touchatout, en devient le propriétaire ainsi que le directeur-rédacteur en chef en mars 1872.
Au cours des années 1890, la parution du journal devient discontinue puis cesse définitivement le 31 décembre 1899, après cinquante neuf années de parution, et 2672 numéros parus.
Malgré la rareté de ses dessins humoristiques, le Tintamarre est considéré par l'historien Bertrand Joly comme « l'ancêtre le plus direct du Canard enchaîné »
