It's always interesting to look through the newspaper archives to see what was happening at different points in history. The 1st of January of any year always presents us with great editorial cartoons and 1921 was no exception.
Cartoon from L'Humanité newspaper, 1 January 1921. Image source.
In this cartoon from the left-leaning newspaper, L'Humanité (the daily newspaper of the French Communist party), we can see 1920 being unceremoniously dumped in the bin. The title 'Dans la poubelle' translates as 'In the trash / rubbish bin' and the caption at the bottom reads: 'Je n'en ai pas trouvé aussi sale depuis l'Empire...', which would be 'I haven't had it this bad since the days of the Empire...'.
Happy New Year, hope it's a good one for you and yours!
