Drawing from King Leopold II of the Belgians by 'Léal da Camara', for French Political magazine, 'Le Cri de Paris'.

Le Cri de Paris title means The Paris Protest in English, but it has in French two other meanings like Paris Fashion (as in « le dernier cri », chic, etc.) and cri as in cris de Paris, i.e. the street cries. This ambiguous title was forged by Félix Fénéon.

The magazine covered news, political articles and satire.[2] Juan Gris was one of its illustrators.[3] It featured pro-Dreyfus and anti-colonialist drawings by Hermann Paul and Ibels.[4] The magazine was subject to frequent censorship.[5] Le Cri de Paris ceased publication in 1940.[2]
