The artwork, titled "About Monitors" was created by Andre Gill in January 1869, Paris. The cover of the renowned publication "L Eclipse" features this intriguing engraving that showcases the power and influence of these two newspapers during that time. In this image, we see a clever caricature that satirizes the press industry in France during the 19th century.

The intricate details and skillful execution bring to life the essence of French journalism at its peak. The composition is visually striking with bold lines and contrasting tones, capturing attention immediately. It serves as a reminder of how influential media can be in shaping public opinion and disseminating information to masses. Leonard de Selva's expert photography allows us to appreciate every nuance of Gill's masterpiece while preserving its historical significance for generations to come.
