En 1902, l'académicien Ãmile Faguet, célèbre pour sa verve, son espièglerie, sa subtilité et son érudition, apprenait que la législature de New York était sur le point de discuter un projet de loi tendant à enrayer le flirt, la lecture des dispositions à venir l'amenant à juger cette mesure dénuée de sens commun, contre-productive et délétère, sans compter que légiférer, comme le souhaiteraient les flirtophobes, sur un sourire ou un regard relèverait de la gageure. L'actualité examinée au prisme de l'Histoire, ou quand l'Histoire éclaire l'actualité. Les événements du moment analysés avec un pertinent regard et recul historique. Brèves insolites, informations mises en perspective, faits divers.

More from my recent photoshoot of annuals covers, this time covering The Schoolgirls' Own Annual. This is a complete run of the title. The first has the Amalgamated Press's 'file copy' sticker on it, as do a couple of the scarce wartime issues so if anyone has decent scans of these sans stickers they would be welcome. Update: Thanks to Alistair McGown I've been able to tinker with the first volume and patched over the sticker. The main artists were A. E. Bestall (better known as the illustrator of Rupert the Bear) (1923-28) and Tom Laidler (1930-35). Not sure who painted the other covers. (* Illustrations © IPC Media.)
