Synchronisation is treated with fascination in the Illustrated London News and L’Illustration.

The revolutionary images speak a universal language that can be understood by literate and illiterate alike. Yet, in London, the same images were met with disapproval.

Revolutionary philosopher, economist, and political theorist Karl Marx was born on this day in 1818. This copy of the Manifesto of the Communist Party, published in London in 1935, belonged to sculptor and typeface designer Eric Gill and has his inscription on the flyleaf.

One example of this exchange of “clichés”: Gavarni’s illustration of Insurgent Prisoners in Paris used on the front pages of both Illustrated London News and the L’Illistration. Non-revolutionary London producing the images for revolutionary Paris at London’s printing presses

In the 1840’s, other, international “Illustrated News” are strikingly similar in terms (they even sometimes share the same readers’ puzzles). There was an active exchange of literal “clichés” between these different papers.
