Sevillian satirical magazines in the first third of the 20th century and their cartoonists

Abstract

In this work we intend to make a compilation of the names of the satirical magazines that appeared in the city of Seville from 1900 until the last years of the Second Republic, together with their cartoonists, providing new headlines as a basis for the bibliography of the press already existing in Seville. It would also be a continuation of the search for local satirical magazines of the 19th century and the cartoonists of the same that we already started in previous years.

In addition, we develop some of them, giving information on their physical location and highlighting some notes about their staff, motivation and informative content, highlighting their way of seeing some day-to-day events in the city and others related to the history of Seville itself and that of its characters. Another aspect that we consider of great value are those related to freedom of expression, such as the crimes of defamation and against honor, such as those that occurred with the Don Próspero magazines in 1902 and with the publication of Don Basilio and his cartoonist Manolo in 1930 , along with some notes on the kidnapping of the Sevilla en Broma edition of the columnist and event journalist Galerín in 1926.
