S.A. du Petit Journal
Bond of 1000F - Paris 1931
''Le Petit Journal'' was created by Moïse Polydore Millaud in 1863 and was one of the first French newspaper.
As aopular newspaper sold at 1 sou (5 centimes) the newspaper changed the lives of Parisians. The press being subject to censorship, at the slightest criticism or political allusion, the fines fell. At the slightest recurrence, it was the ban. Le Petit Journal was thus the first to relay news items, giving itself the sensational editorial line.
Le Petit Journal also experienced its growth thanks to the rotary presses developed by Hippolite Marinoni (1823-1904) allowing mass circulation. With a circulation of 400,000 copies in 1870, it exceeded all French political dailies. The company was dissolved in 1958.
