- Title
Le Petit Journal des Refusées: A Graphical Reading.
- Authors
DRUCKER, JOHANNA
- Abstract
The essay discusses the significance of the 1896 pamphlet "Le Petit Journal des Refusées," published in San Francisco, California, by Gelett Burgess. It notes that the work must be read for its graphic, visual and literary properties combined, as the journal is almost entirely hand-drawn. The essay states that the journal lends itself neither to the avant-garde, utopian or social reform movements, yet is a modern work to be understood through its graphic features.
