Postcard published by the weekly Les Corbeaux. A nun breastfeeding a baby and a priest on a sofa: Didn't God say: “Grow and multiply and fill the earth”?
Les Corbeaux, founded in 1904 in Belgium by the cartoonist Didier Dubucq ("Ashavérus") and boycotted by the Belgian authorities, was published in Paris from 1905 to 1909.
The last years of the 19th century and the first years of the 20th century marked the height of anticlericalism in France. The law on the Separation of Church and State was passed in 1905. In the first decade of the 1900s, the Libre-Pensée grouped into national and regional associations, and several anti-clerical newspapers appeared under its umbrella in these years: La Lanterne, Les Corbeaux, La Calotte, La Raison and Le Montbrisonnais, among others.
