COCORICO: The painter Paul Boutigny, admirer and friend of Alphonse Mucha, decided to put on the market at the end of the year 1898 the "most artistic and literary humoristic journal" which takes the "defense of the Art Nouveau" to be "luxurious but affordable". These are the words published as the profession of faith of the first issue that came out of the press on December 31 in Paris. With regard to the history of magazines, Cocorico stands out from the other media then on sale in France: while L'Illustration and the Revue Illustree, via the Baschet family, partly dominate the sector, there are few to propose resolutely under an accessible form a showcase of artistic modernism, which was been breaking out all over Europe for the past ten years. Cocorico offered a sample of original images signed by emerging artists.
