The term "sans-gêne" is an appellation used in France to denote unabashed behavior and a disregard for societal constraints. Sans-Gêne in this context is a charming, humorous, and risqué French magazine, published and edited by Samuel-Sigismond Schwarz, that lives up to the name. Features biting wit and humor with numerous mildly bawdy illustrations and cartoons by some of the top French illustrators of the time. This album collects issues 71 - 80, dated July 5 through Sept. 6, 1902. 8.5" x 11", 160 pages, B&W. NOTE: All text in French.
