Specialist Notes
La Charge is a French satirical weekly founded by Alfred Le Petit in 1870. The title was taken from an earlier satirical newspaper which appeared in October 18321 and was published for several years. In 1870, Alfred Le Petit began to publish a new La Charge, very hostile to Napoleon III. It had to undergo several censorships before the final fall of the regime, and the newspaper ceased publication several times, as competition in the satirical newspaper segment was fierce: between 1870 and 1914, more than 200 titles appeared and disappeared. Relaunched in 1888 to support the Boulangist movement, La Charge changed form several times before finally ceasing publication in 1890
