La Dépêche du Midi (sold)
La Dépêche du Midi (October 2, 1870 - Present) is a regional French daily newspaper circulated in southeastern France. The newspaper first appeared under the title La Dépêche and its first issue was published on October 2, 1870. Famous French politicians Jean Jaurès and Georges Clemenceau wrote for La Dépêche early in their careers. La Dépêche soon became associated with the radical-socialist left wing of French politics, and by the beginning of the twentieth century, French Catholic bishops began to see reading the paper as a 'grave sin.' The paper continued publishing throughout the twentieth century. However, since La Dépêche was operated by collaborationists during World War II, it was banned after the Liberation of France. It reemerged with the name La Dépêche du Midi in 1947. Nonetheless, La Dépêche again took firm radical left and anticommunist positions.

This is an 1898 anti-American propaganda map of the eastern United States and the Caribbean published during the Spanish-American War (April 21, 1898 - December 10, 1898) by the 'then' radical-socialist French newspaper La Depêche. The map illustrates the eastern United States, the Caribbean, and, in a large inset, the Philippines - thus detailing all major theaters of engagement. In the Atlantic, there is a striking vignette engraving a very worried looking Alphonso XIII, the boy King of Spain. Alphonso XIII was King of Spain from birth and in this illustration is just 12, as the map underscores by printing his birth date. The anti-American message is subtle but clear - look at the big bad USA bullying this poor little boy. (more details)
