The cover of the French Le Charivari magazine 27 February, 1834. It is pear-shaped because the magazine’s owner, Charles Philipon, had been taken to court for depicting king Louis-Philippe I as a rotting pear. Ironically, the king had just previously proclaimed the freedom of the press and lost the case.

A very bold character, a short textmode game for the browser by Adel Faure, 2024.
Poésie de mots inconnus is a book from 1949 made by Ilia Zdanevich (aka ILIAZD) after he moved to France from Georgia. It features Russian and Italian futurists, German dadaists, surrealists, and people from other avant-garde movements (Picasso, Braque, Matisse, Miró, Magnelli, etc). It was a reaction against lettrism, which ILIAZD saw as mediocre mimicry.
